Bio
Reason you race:
To inspire kids all around the world that you can do anything and be anything you want to be as long as you stay focus and give it your all. Oh ya, and because I love to ride my BMX.
Who did you look up to when you first started racing?
Mario Soto. He died the same year I started racing.
When and at what race did you turn pro and how old were you?
I turned A pro in Reno, January 11-13th 2008. I was 16 years old.
What race did you turn AA pro?
I turned at my local national, which was the Super Nationals March 27-30th 2008 in Desoto.
What is your favorite thing to do besides racing?
Just spending time with the family or friends and just having fun living life.
What kind of music do you listen to?
Anything that gets me pumped on race weekends like Rap, Pop, Rock and when I'm just chilling I like a little of R&B or some Country but I hardly ever listen to Country unless I'm with the good oh boys like KB, Jason Rogers, DR.
Local track?
Metroplex BMX in Desoto, Texas.
If clip pedals were banned today, could you still be competitive on flats?
Oh for sure. On flat pedals you have to try harder and it just makes things more fun.
Cool travel story:
Just being on the road with my good team mate Jason Carnes there are always good times.
The one thing you can't live without:
The BMX of course, and all the fans who support me.
Favorite Fly Racing product:
The Helmets. There is nothing like a sick skid lid.

Love what you do and have fun.
