What do you like to do when you aren’t racing?
In the off-season, I play a lot of hockey and snowmobile, but I also like to play baseball, basketball, and throw the football around.
Who would you like to thank?
I would like to thank my mom and dad for all of their love, help and support, Kate Lees for always believing in me and training me when she can, Cole Hastings for always giving me pep talks before my races, and telling me what to watch out for so that I can do my best out there, and all of the people that I race with, for keeping it classy and clean!
