Welcome to Defiant Racing

I have been riding mountain bikes since age 6.  Most of my free time is spent on my bike, either building jumps, riding at the local West Milford pump track, or Downhill at Mountain Creek Bike Park.  During my 2015 season I raced for Team Jersey Homegrown and moved up to Cat 2, 15-18 and placed second in the National Series.  In the 2016 season I joined Defiant Racing and raced as a Cat 1, 15-18 where I earned 1st place for the Eastern States Cup and was named Super Champ.  In the same year, I raced in Peru at the Pan-America Cont. race and took 3rd place.  In 2017, I raced my first World Cup DH races.   Unfortunately, I crashed in my qualifying run in Switzerland and broke my collarbone.  I was able to come back for the last Pro GRT of the season in Mammoth, CA where I placed 5th fresh off an injury.  2018 season had the opportunity to race in two more World Cup envents.  In 2020 I came in 2nd place at the Costa Rica Open and took my first win in the pro category at Mountain Creek, NJ.  The 2021 season was littered with injuries for me, so the season ended early.  I am now back on the bike and excited for the 2022 season.

I have always loved riding bikes. By the time I was 2, I was already trying to jump my bike off of anything I could find. At 4, I started racing BMX and was NAG 13 at 6 years old. When I turned 8, I decided I wanted to stop racing to freeride. I tried my first mountain bike and fell in love. I also entered my first dual slalom race, taking first place. For the next 2 years, I focused on dirt jumping, freeriding. and dual slalom In 2019 I decided to focus more on DH racing, racing in 6 races and making the podium twice. In 2020, I took 1 st place in 4 of 5 Dh races and tried enduro for the first time finishing in the top 5 in all but 1 race. For the 2021 season, I joined the Defiant Race team which has been an amazing experience. With the help of my team, I raced up in the 15-18 expert category. I raced 13 races in 10 states, making the podium 9 times. This season I am looking forward to racing more at the National level.

I have been racing bicycles for 11 years and greatly enjoy trail building/tail maintenance at our local Susquehanna state park and

dirt jump trails in Baltimore as well the local Dual Slalom track, Gravity Soul in Maryland and during the last 11 racing

years I have won a BMX national as a 11 intermediate, 2 BMX nationals as a 10 Intermediate and I have won 3 BMX

nationals as a 5 year novice and 1 BMX National as a Strider rider at age 3.
