HOBBIES: That is a hard one! I would say going golfing with my family when I’m home!

FAVORITE TRACK OR PLACE TO RIDE: Favorite spot to ride is definitely 508 MX in Massachusetts! Highly recommend if in the northeast!

WHAT AGE DID YOU START RIDING / HOW DID YOU GET STARTED? I started riding when I was 5 on a Razor electric bike, that thing was more rigid than a hard tail mountain bike, haha! But my dad used to race hillclimb back in his day, & our neighbor down the street was Fred Andrews. His twins were my best friends growing up. I practically spent every day over there and grew up around all the pro guys Fred had on his team over the years. I just really looked up to them & fell in love with the sport.

WORD OF ADVICE TO ANYONE WANTING TO RIDE: My best advice would be to keep it fun every ride, never put too much pressure on yourself!

HOW IT IS TO BE A PART OF THE FLY FAMILY: The FLY Family is certainly something special, there’s a lot of hard work behind the scenes that doesn’t go unnoticed! They make life so easy for us racers & I couldn’t be any prouder to represent such an awesome company! I would have to say my favorite set of the FLY gear would be the red/white/blue Kinetic Mesh! You can’t beat a good ‘ole USA kit!
