How did you get started in racing?

My dad and all my older siblings rode motocross, so I was bound to race dirt bikes!

What is your favourite track and why?

My favourite track is Muttco Mountain. I like this track because it gets really rough and technical and that’s what I like! And because it’s sand which is absolutely my favourite to ride on.

Who is your favourite rider and why?

Ken Rockzen is my favourite rider because he is an awesome rider and still knows how to have fun every once and a while, which is always good to do.

What Canadian Pro do you look up to and why?

I look up to Cole Thompson because he is not only a top Canadian rider but is one of the few Canadians to make it to Supercross and get top ten.

Who is your hero?

My hero is Ricky Carmichael.

What are your goals for this season, and what is it going to take to reach them?

My goal for this season is to make it to Loretta Lynn’s and get top 5 at Walton TransCan. To reach these goals, I’m going to have to train my hardest and ride as much as I can.

What are your biggest accomplishments?

I think my biggest accomplishments are making it to Walton TransCan every year since I was on 50s and getting top 10 every year.
