about
about - What are some of your interests/hobbies/favorite pastimes?
I love riding dirt bikes, four-wheelers… pretty much anything on wheels. I also enjoy working on my old square body Chevy and fishing on the Currituck Sound. - Who are your role models?
My grandfather is my biggest role model. He worked his fingers to the bone to support a wife and seven kids. He has always been there for me in life. He taught me that hard work pays off and never stop dreaming. - Do you have any ‘pre-show’ rituals you run through?
I like to joke around and make everyone laugh. It takes the pressure off and I also listen to music and walk around the truck for peace of mind. - What is something a lot of people don’t know about you?
I enjoy doing karaoke. - What is your favorite memory on or off the racetrack?
My favorite memory is definitely winning a Monster Jam World Finals championship in Las Vegas as a Crew Chief for Ryan Anderson. Also, working hard to fulfill my dreams of becoming a Monster Jam athlete. - What is your most prized possession?
My family. They push me every day to be the best that I can be and help me chase my dreams.
