Personal |

When I am not doing schoolwork, or working on our new Training Facility in Dugspur, Virginia, I enjoy Golf, Pool, & anything that is related to motorcycle racing. I’m a Christian and Thank the Lord for keeping me safe all of these years. My Mom and Dad have been great, positive, and respectable role models in my life. I am always striving to improve myself and my riding skills with help from my trainer Russell Clay. |

Racing Background |
|
Racing over Jumps, around a Dirt track, up a hill, or through the woods it's something that has always been in my life for as long as I can remember. My father has been involved in the sport long before I was born and passed the love of the racing motorcycles to me at a very young age. I began riding at age 4 and racing at age 8. IN 2005 I finished 8th in the Big wheel 12-13 class for the Grand National Cross Country Series and haven’t missed a beat yet. The following year I moved to the 200 A class where I finished 7th in the Series. The next year I switched to the 4 stroke A Class which was a big step for me as a 15 year old competing against the best riders in the country. This past year I became the 2007 AMA National Hare Scramble 4 stroke A champion. The rest of this past season I have competed in over 40 races placing in the top 5 at over 3/4 of the races I attended.
