“My journey in motorsport started later than most. Originally I wanted to be a pilot but as I grew up my interest shifted to Formula 1 and motorsport. By 13 all I wanted to do was race karts and finally when I was 14 I started racing karts at picton kart track under the guidance of Paul Varley. From then until I was 16 I raced at most national events and state championships through two interupted covid seasons. I was never really amazing in karts but I was lucky enough to dip my toes in cars at 16. In 2022 I started racing Formula Ford with Justin Cotter’s Synergy Motorsport. From 2022 to present I have accumulated countless race wins, podiums and notably the Australian Championship in 2024. Amongst the races some of my highlights include the round win at Bathurst in 2024, 2x race wins in FRP F1600 at Road America and NJMP. For 2025 I will be competing in the USF2000 championship”
