About Me

AboutMe

From watching Lightning McQueen to being Lightning McQueen is every kids dream and for me, became my reality.


I have been racing karts at upwards of 70 miles per hour since I was 8 years old. Beginning my career at Michiana Raceway Park in South Bend, Indiana I learned what it takes to have a goal and achieve it, when dozens of other kids want it just as bad. 


Moving to California I began racing Ka100 Jr series, I finally got to experience the full grace of the sport. Being a team player even when the race is individual, being forever thankful to all the people who helped me achieve my titles, and learning the mental strength to want, work, and achieve the win.


Currently I race in the All Star Karting series and Rok Sonoma series, holding 2 season champion titles to my name. As I begin my journey as an aspiring engineer and racer, I strive to make everyday a good day, forever putting the queen in Lightning McQueen
