Competitive Highlights

I started racing on a blaster in 2007 at age 14. at age 15 i raced New England ATV-MX and won the 4-Stroke C championship 3 races early. At age 16 i moved up to the A class in NEATV. i missed round 1 because of bike problems, and couldnt ride for a few weeks. We met up with team suzuki mechanic Glenn Schlude who fixed and preped my bike for round 2 of NEATV-MX and there i went 2-3 for 2nd overall with a full gate in the 4-Stroke A class. At round 3 of NEATV I blew my brand new ATP race head up because of a mechanical error. I finished the 2009 season on a stock backup head with an ATP intake cam, and a 14:1 piston. I ran into some more bad luck with a bad crash, which left me in the hospital for a few days after the Unadilla National in 2009. I raced the Production B class and got 2nd overall. In my 2nd moto of 4-Stroke B i got landed on, and fliped. I had a very bad concussion, and it took awile to recover. I had to do a frame swap after that, and finsihed off the season with a few top 3 and top 5 finishes in the NEATV-MX A class's. I also won the Walden MX Expert class championship which was a few end of the year races put together. On Febuary 12th 2010 I had shoulder surgery to fix a Bancart Leason and a S.L.A.P tear in my shoulder, along with some nerve damage. My 1st race back was on May 29th-30th at the Steel City national. With only 2 practice rides before this, i ran Open A and 4-Stroke A. I went 8-4 in Open A getting 6th overall, and went 5-7 for 8th overall in 4-stroke A.
