HOW IT STARTED...

I was a fan of motorsports at birth. I tested a quarter midget at a young age and did well but racing didn't fit in the family budget. I didn't start racing competitively until I discovered the Gateway Kartplex iDrive Series. A driver shows up to the track, pays a small fee and drives a rental, equalized race kart in competitive fields of up to 15 drivers.

​

In my first full season in the iDrive Series, I won the Spring season and qualified for the end of the year championship shootout. I would go on to win 2 of the 3 races in the shootout and secured the 2017 Championship and a scholarship to compete in the Ignite Series for 2018.

In the Ignite Series, drivers own and maintain their own kart - the Margay Ignite K3. Everyone in the series is on the same kart, with the same sealed Briggs & Stratton 206 engine package and Hoosier hard-compound tires, giving all the drivers an even playing field to let driver skill shine. In my debut season, I finished sixth in the points and picked up two podium finishes.

​

After my successful year, Margay Racing offered an extension to race in the following year's Ignite Series in exchange for video production services. I agreed to their offer and improved in the 2019 season. I doubled the number of podium finishes and finished third in the points standings. To top it all off, I was able to deliver high-quality videos for Margay Racing at their major events throughout the year and I was given another offer to get back behind the wheel in 2020. Not only was I going to be able to race in the Ignite Series at the Kartplex again, but I was able to race in the Ignite Challenge Series that travels to other tracks and it would put me up against some of the best competition in the Midwest. 

​

2020 was my breakthrough year as I would pick up my first Ignite win in the first round of the Ignite Challenge Series at Whiteland Raceway Park. I would back up that win with sweeping a double feature at the Gateway Kartplex. I won 5 of the 10 races at Kartplex; finishing in second place 4 times. At the end of the year, I won the Ignite Series Championship and finished second in my first attempt at the Ignite Challenge Series.

I am currently looking for opportunities to move to the next level of motorsports as I am on track to obtaining my SCCA competition license in the off-season.
