I took my first pedals at 5 after getting a bike for my birthday. I discovered a BMX track near where I lived and got into racing. I started going to all the local tracks and BMX is where my bike skills first developed.

Then Air Rec opened and when my friends and I weren’t racing we would spend hours there pushing ourselves to hit bigger jumps and do bigger tricks. In 2019 I went to Wam Bam and Hucken Berries, getting my first taste of FMB competition and I knew it was something I wanted to pursue. In 2020, BMX racing was shut down, but Whistler was open, so I got a 24” trail bike to ride the bike park and fell in love instantly.

My BMX racing days are behind me, but it was a special time of my life that I will always have fond memories of. Between slopestyle and freeride, mountain biking is now my sole focus. I love the rewards that come from pushing myself and learning new things. Every season I am excited to see how I will grow and what I will learn.
