What is the significance of your riding number? Was it given to you or did you pick it for a specific reason?

Who inspires you in racing or riding? And how has motorcycling impacted your life?
Cooper Webb with his never quit till the finish attitude.
Riding has always been my favorite thing to do when life isn't going to plan. It’s the one place I can always go and all the worries fade away! My wife will sometimes kick me out to go riding when my attitude declines, lol.
What has been your favorite machine to race/ride and why?
My 2023 GasGas Ex350F has been my favorite bike to date. I'm known to be a bit of a clutch abuser and I ride the bike high in the RPMs but it just keeps coming back for more. It never let me down in my best season to date.
What else do you like to do for fun?
Over the last couple of years I have fallen in love with fitness so if I'm not riding you will find me planning my next marathon or competitive fitness event!
What advice has a fellow rider/racer given you that you follow?
You can’t win the race on the first lap but you can lose it!
What advice do you have for other D23 ARMCA members?
If you want to progress quickly, stay focused and consistent in your program and never quit. Your consistency will compound and before you know it, you will start seeing the results!
Anything else you’d like to mention?
Nothing in life is going to fall in your lap, get off the couch and go get it! You won't regret it!

I have met all the best friends and fastest racers in District 23, both hillclimbing and in the woods. It’s a great group!
What is the greatest accomplishment of your riding/racing career?
I have learned so much! I’ve definitely learned to be patient with myself sometimes! But my best race finish is 3rd in both disciplines. I also competed in my first national Hillclimb in Red Wing this year and earned 8th place!
What are your goals for 2024? Beyond?
To go faster! I look up to all of my really fast race family who have all competed at the highest level and I want to ride like they do… fast!
What is your favorite track, course, trail, or event and why?
I think my favorite place to ride is at Aaron and Tammy’s house because they have it all, a moto track, grass track, a fun woods loop, and we get to just have fun! Other than that, the Theilman trail ride is my second favorite because we can just ride the wheels off with all our favorite people.
What is the significance of your riding number? Was it given to you or did you pick it for a specific reason?

That’s hard to pick just songs but anything by Hardy, Morgan Wallen, or any song that gets you pumped up to race!
Who inspires you in racing or riding? And how has motorcycling impacted your life?
I would love to say my mom because she’s been on two wheels since she was little and has won 3 national Hillclimb championships. But I also have some really fast riders I look up to and want to go fast like they do; Aaron, Jacob, Nathan, Brandon, Luke, Corissa, Logan, Bodee, and so many more! Dirtbikes just make everything great! I don’t have to think about school or my chore list when I get to go ride!
What has been your favorite machine to race/ride and why?
I love ripping on the KX 110s! I really like the race bikes too, but I get to destroy the 110! Thankfully our local dealer keeps spare parts on hand!
What else do you like to do for fun?
I love to go hunting, fishing, and mountain biking. In the winter I like to snowmobile too, but there hasn’t been a ton of snow lately.
What advice has a fellow rider/racer given you that you follow?
So many things! But probably the best is to stand up and hang on with your ankles and knees! The best advice before I take off though is what my mom tells me: “I love you buddy, go fast but most importantly, have fun!”
What advice do you have for other D23 ARMCA members?
Just go out and enjoy being on two wheels! Life doesn’t slow down so you have to have fun while you can.
Anything else you’d like to mention?

I was also able to ride three different classes at all but one race this year (85cc, Junior and Sportsman B).
What are your goals for 2024? Beyond?

What is your favorite track, course, trail, or event and why?
