How did you get started in racing and riding?
Well, I kind of just started watching Mini Thunder cause one of my friends rode. My parents got me my first Honda 50 and I have been riding ever since. I love racing. I have so much fun and meet so many new friends.
What’s your favourite track and why?
My favourite track is Walton. I love Walton because it has awesome jumps and you can go really fast. It’s got lots of big ruts, too.
Who is your favourite rider and why?
Jason Anderson “El Hombre.” He is super-fast and has awesome style on the track. I love watching him race Supercross.

What Canadian Pro do you look up to and why?
Cole Thompson is my favourite Canadian rider. He is a really cool guy and I love how he rides. He lives just down the road from me in a cool place and I get to ride at his track. Every time I see him he takes time to talk to me and my family. He is just a really nice guy.
Who is your hero?
Jason Anderson “El Hombre” is my hero. He is an awesome rider and I hope I can ride Supercross like him one day. It’s my dream one day.
What are your goals for this season, and what is it going to take to reach them?
My goal for this season was to race the TransCan at Walton. I achieved that goal! I trained lots on and off the track and went to as many qualifiers as I could. I had a few falls but got better every moto.
What are your biggest accomplishments?
My biggest accomplish came this year winning first overall in spring series with AMO and getting 8th overall in 50 (7-8) at the TransCan. I also got first overall in the 2017 TVR fall series in Tyke A.

What is your favourite part about going to the races?
My favourite part about going to the races is racing with all my friends. We have so much fun hanging out at the track but it’s all business when we get on the track. We are all competitive but off the track we are all buddies.

What do you like to do when you aren’t racing?
My favourite things to do when I’m not racing is playing with my mini dirt bikes, riding my BMX bike doing jumps, playing soccer and hockey. But most of all I love just hanging with my buddies.
Who would you like to thank?
I would like to thank FXR Moto, MD Distributions, DnD Moto, Twenty Six Suspension, Kraayenbrink Farms, HMX Racing Training. I’d also like to thank my mom and my dad for taking me to all my practices and my races.
