Racing Experience:
|
"I began racing at the age of 6 in a small 50cc Go-Kart at a track in Willow Springs, CA. I won my first championship at the age of 7 in the 'Kid-Kart' category of my local karting club. After that, things began to steamroll. I've taken numerous titles against the best in the nation in the International Karting Federation (IKF Region 7), the Stars of Karting, and the World Karting Association (WKA)."

Most Memorable
Racing Achievement:
|
“Trekking all the way to a small town outside of Vancouver, Canada, knowing that the only way I was going to have a shot at the championship, would be to win both races. I did, and in a stunning manner. On both Saturday and Sunday, I was able to start from the pole, and never look back. I remember how perfect I made myself to be able to pull away like I did, how precise everything had to be; it was an amazing feeling to cross the checker to win both races that I'll never forget.”

Favorite Race Track
& Why:
|
"Since I've only been to two car tracks so far, I'm going to have to choose a kart track for this one. Although it isn't there anymore, Moran Raceway in Beaumont, CA is my favorite track, by far. It had so many elements to master, like the Laguna Seca-like corkscrew, the highspeed bankings, and the massive elevation changes."

Racing Hero:
|
"Michael Schumacher, not only for his achievements, but how he went about achieving them. I had the honor of meeting Michael at a recent Go-Kart race in Las Vegas, NV called the SKUSA SuperNationals. Meeting him and seeing his physical condition for his age just made me idolize him that much more; I can't wait for him to be back in F1!"

Hobbies/Interests:
|
"I spend the large majority of my time away from the track in school, where I'm a Junior in high school. Aside from that, I enjoy designing graphics for miscellaneous uses, swimming, skiing, and hanging out with friends." |
