I am 17 years old from Townsville, Queensland.
After trying numerous different sports from a young age, at the end of 2021, I made the decision to try karting.
Since I started karting I have been able to adapt quickly to the speed, karting line techniques and overall race sense at a very rapid pace.
I am extremely competitive and live and breathe motorsport and when not practicing and doing my schoolwork, I am training on my race car simulator on various race tracks around the country/world to help gain whatever advantage I can against my competitors.
Overall, I am very committed and driven to achieve a career in motorsport.
I progressed quickly through the Junior ranks from KA4 Junior (low performance) to KA3 Junior (high performance) still currently holding track records at numerous kart clubs.
In 2023, I raced the Elite Junior class at the Australian Karting Championship (AKC) level, KA2 Junior Elite which comprised the Top 50 junior karters in Australia.
This Elite junior category has produced numerous F1 drivers (Oscar Piastri, Daniel Riccardo) and numerous Supercars drivers have also come through this class.
I was also fortunate to carry out a test at the end of 2022 with a national Formula Ford team and after a successful test signed on with the team, BF Racing - to race in the 2023 QLD series and the National Formula Ford Series.
With my increased competition at the National level in Formula Ford, Trans Am and Toyota 86GR Cup (Australia and New Zealand) and various other categories - I can only succeed and continue to achieve success in the sport of car racing.
In 2025 I was fortunate to continue to race Formula Ford at the National and State level (Victoria) and the year proved to be highly successful. I achieved numerous National race wins and won the Victorian State Title. The Victorian Formula Ford Champinship is considered the highest State level, due to its circuits such as Phillip Island and Sandown.
I also competed in V8 Trans Am and the Toyota 86 GR Cup which again saw me gain National pole postions and podiums.
In 2026, the plan is to focus on two categories: V8 Trans Am Australia and GT4 racing - both nationally and internationally.
