How you got started:

I had a real interest in cars and racing ever since I could say car and dad knew about go-karting so he took me down to Bolivar one day to watch the racing. I told him I wanted to start racing so we had a look at karts, bought one and that’s how I got started and wouldn’t want to be doing anything else.

The person who has been most helpful/influential to you in your racing, and how they have helped:

My dad, he has taken me interstate a few times and countless times to Mount Gambier. He dedicates his time and money even when he doesn’t feel like going down the track or is sick he still takes me for practice. He is always wanting to help and I wouldn’t have started or gotten to where I am now without him.

What are your aims in racing (this season and long term):

This season I aim to win the festival state cup for Junior National Heavy and long term my aim is to drive in the v8 super car series.

Your most enjoyable moment in racing:

When I first hopped in my kart in midgets.

Your least most enjoyable moment in racing:

One of my least enjoyable moments in racing was the 2006 sprint kart nationals at Bolivar. We didn’t qualify well and was put in the repechage and was taken out at the first corner.

What you like best about racing:

There are a couple of things that I particularly like about racing and they are getting to spend time with my dad and having a great time pushing the kart to its absolute limits.
