"Don't Expect Success to be Suprised by Failure"

MY GOALS & AMBITIONS

I'm sure it is every young driver's dream to reach the pinnacle of motorsports such as Formula 1 and for some karting is the pinnacle, no politics, just pure bumper-to-bumper racing. My dream however is to race in single-seater cars such as Formula 4 or other series. Of course, Reaching Formula 1 or any other Series like WEC or IMSA is also a dream goal.

My Story

Passion for Karting

I started karting back in the summer of '23. To some people, if you want to make it to the top step of motorsports you should have started karting at 5 or 6 years old like Max Verstappen or Lewis Hamilton. Unfortunately, I started at 14 so I may be a little behind. Anyway, I first hopped into a rental kart around May. After a couple of races, I had my first kart. Of course, the beginning stages were all learning experiences but in those experiences, I gained an understanding of the mental side of racing not just the mechanical side. My first official race was in September and I won in my class (I may or may not have been the only one, but a win is a win), and later that year I competed in Daytona's annual Kart Week, where I qualified 16th out of 42 drivers. Today I am a champion at my local track in one of their night series, The League of Legends and I was the runner-up in the Orlando Cup series.

I am unsure of what the future will bring but I am certain my determination and competitiveness should allow me to do things that I would not have thought were possible.
