      Tell us a little about who you are and how you got involved in Racing Watercraft?I was born on September 15, 1996. I like to make goals for myself to accomplish on and off of the race course. I started riding at the age of 12 on a Kawasaki 650sx up at my cottage. When I turned 14, I convinced my dad to get an old square nose superjet. There was a local charity race for one of my friends that had gotten injured that my dad and I thought would be fun to ride in. After that race I couldn't stop, it was just too fun. So my dad let me race his SXR the following year and it was a blast!
