Drifting Background: I was always passionate about cars growing up, but wasn’t raised in a family that shared that passion, so I was never able to get as much exposure to the car culture that I really wanted. After graduating college in 2020, I learned about drifting and was able to go to a local event in Michigan. After my first ride along, I was instantly hooked and haven’t looked back since. Once I got a car, all I could think about was driving and how to get better. I’ve always been competitive so naturally I wanted to test my skills against other good drivers while still having fun. After lots of seat time, going through drift Indy street league lite and regular street league the last few seasons, I was able to snag a spot in GP and couldn’t turn it down. My goal with drifting is to be the best driver I can, drive with some of the best drivers in the US, and have the most fun I possibly can. Through drift Indy GP, I will be able to accomplish that goal.

Fun Fact:I grew up racing in triathlons and at one point was one of the top juniors in the US.
