I have loved extreme sports and driving anything I could since I was just 2 years old. I actually gave up my diaper for a Honda CRF50 Motorcycle, so I could learn to “fly like superman”! I am always ready for an adventure. When I’m not racing, I love to learn new things, like teaching myself to do backflips, surfing, and snowboarding. I
I have loved extreme sports and driving anything I could since I was just 2 years old. I actually gave up my diaper for a Honda CRF50 Motorcycle, so I could learn to “fly like superman”! I am always ready for an adventure. When I’m not racing, I love to learn new things, like teaching myself to do backflips, surfing, and snowboarding. I am ready to be the best in any racing opportunity that presents itself. My immediate goals include winning the SuperKarts USA TaG Senior Championship and moving on to Indy Cars or IMSA Sports Cars, but my biggest dream is to live in Italy and represent the United States as a Formula One driver. I believe I can do anything with a positive mental attitude!

I have been racing karts since I was 7; I have had many wins, but my favorite was in the TAG Junior class, Battle of the Brickyard race at the famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2018. I started doing my own mechanical work in 2017 and work throughout the week to prep the 15-20 karts we take to the races on the weekend. Outside of racing and working, I love to ski, but actually, I really just love to race…if I’m not on track or working, you will find me on my sim! I am determined to make it as a race driver, moving up the ladder into Indy Cars, IMSA, or maybe even World of Outlaw Sprint Cars. My ultimate dream, though, is to win the Triple Crown of Motorsport – The Indianapolis 500, 24 Hours of Le Mans, and the Monaco Grand Prix!

I have always loved all types of racing since I was young. My family used to have a NASCAR team when I was little and I guess that sparked my love for racing. I started racing in the Fall of 2018 and loved it ever since. I’m a varsity athlete who participates in football and lacrosse.

Away from the track, he is a competitive swimmer and studies viola, piano, and guitar. His cross-training supports his fitness and his focus behind the wheel.

My goal is to have a full race season without rain on race day and no pandemics! My favorite drivers are Mel Kenyon and Jim Crawford. These Indy car drivers were so determined (addicted) they continued to race even after confrontations with the reaper...I hope to do the same.
