Driver Information
Born and raised in Minnesota. My grandfather and I would attend races at North Central Speedway in Brainerd almost every weekend. Little did I know my love and desire for racing started with those moments. I graduated from Roseville Area High school in 2005 and attended the Motorcycle Mechanics Institute in Florida. I raced motocross for several years until I broke my back in 2007 during a practice. I decided to ditch the 2 wheels and trade it for four wheels and a cage. I raced a B-mod for a few years, but took a break.
Now we jumped into the Super Stock and having tons of fun learning the closed wheel racing. We plan on racing all of Ogilvie and sprinkling in a few races at Princeton and Granite City.
