Personal History
Kealan Whiteside born 6/1/10 and lives in Southern California. Kealan has Petit ma seizures (Form of epilepsy) and works daily to keep the condition under control. This is a tough circumstance for a teenage boy but has taken it in stride. He has a diet he follows to help minimize the epilepsy episodes, religiously sticks to his workout program. Takes cold showers and cold plunges to assist with recovery and epilepsy episodes. Started off riding a DRZ70 at 5 years old on and off until age 10. After watching Haiden Deegan on YouTube when the 2020 pandemic hit, and sports were cancelled he decided to go racing. He has worked with riding coaches Jeff Alessi, Cameron Purczynski, and Karissa Purczynski. He is 50/50 homeschool and in person attendance. Normal school was tough when he was younger dealing with dyslexia and epilepsy. Since switching to homeschool and taking more 1 on 1 classes his state test scores and grades have improved greatly and he's accelerating above grade level especially in History, Science and Math. He is a hard-working goal-oriented rider that loves to train and improve on and off the bike. He's great at networking and making new friends.
