How I got started

I started riding ATV`s when I was only 3 years old, even though it had no gears and was electric 4-Wheeler. I then learned to ride real ATV`s when I was 5 and then, when I was 6, I started riding a motorcycle. First I just rode at home, then I started racing when I turned 9 years old.

Goals for the Future

Keep practicing and racing. Learn as much as I can about riding and racing and work even harder, so maybe I can be Champion. Compete in more National races. attend Rich Lafferty Riding School on December 4th, 2005. My dad is also scheduling training in April, 2006. Attended another training at Rich Lafferty's riding/racing school in July, 2006, and I plan on attending another session with Rich Lafferty in December, 2006, January, Febuary, March 2007. I will attend a four day riding/racing camp with Rich Lafferty. My dad and I are planning some more moto cross  and Rich Lafferty Racing School training early in 2008. In 2008 I will race a new series, the North East Offroad Championship (NEOC) Series. The NEOC will be both a harescramble & Pit Bike series. I will continue to race the ECEA (East Coast Enduro Asociation) Youth Hare Scramble Series in 2008.I will continue to race sellect races in PA/District 6, GNCC, & WNYOA Harescramble Series. In October, 2008 I attended a two day training couse with Shane Watts-Dirt Wise Racing School in Lansing New York. WOW, I learned a lot in this course! I plan on attending one or two classes with Shane Watts next year. My dad and I are very active in organizing events for the NEOC (North East Offroad Championship) Series. We will continue to be a active part of this organization as we grow to become one of the biggest Harescramble series in the North East. Come ride the wave if you can! Visit us at www.neoc.org. In early September, 2009,  I attended my second year of training with Shane Watts. I plan on training with Shane again in 2010. 

Why do you like this sport?

For the excitement and all the wonderful people that I meet every year at the races I attend.

Some Personal Information About Me:

I love outdoor activities and started riding when I was only 3 years old. I also love to swim, play soccer and I just learned how to ski. Some indoor activities I like include playing guitar, trombone in my school junior band, cooking (so I can bump it up a notch) and watching CMT. Most of all, I ride my motorcycle every chance I get! I once told my mom (before I was racing) "Mom, I was born to ride a Motorcycle"!

Music?

I love all kinds of music, mostly classic rock, Country, Classical and I play guitar and trombone.

My first race, the day after I turned 9 years old, was a huge success (even though my mom was a little nervous)! I placed 3rd out of 12 in the EL-110 cc division at Ridge Riders` Hare Scramble.
Another great race was the Valley Forge Hare Scramble, where I placed 2nd out of over 20 riders.
I ended the 2004 season by placing 4th in the ECEA EL-110cc Division for the year. There were 33 riders in that division. I ended the 2005 season by placing 4th in the ECEA EL-110 division for the year with 36 riders in that division. In 2006 I raced two series. In the PA Harescramble Series I placed 4th in the 110 Air-cooled division. Currently I stand at third place in the ECEA EL-110 division with two races to go. Currently I am in 10TH place in the ECEA 10-11 85cc division with one race to go for 2007. I placed 9TH in the PA Youth Harescramble Series for the 2007 final. NEOC-2008 final results, 9th place-12-13 85cc class and 2nd place-Young Bucks Pit bike class. In the GNCC series for 2008 I placed 21st out of 64 racers for the year end. I am currently in third place for the NEOC Adult pit bike series (Young Buck class). I am currently in fifth place for the NEOC Youth 12-15, 100 class. I will most likely finish out the year in these two catagories in the same place.
