My love of racing started young after testing a quarter midget at Yandina Speedway when I was 5.

Racing was quite natural to me and I enjoy new challenges. My first real taste of motorsport came when I was 13 taking part in sprints at Qld Raceway driving a Hyundai Excel. 

In 2017 I competed in my first race at Qld Raceway as part of the Track Attack Excel Cup Series in a single cam excel from that moment on I was hooked.

2018 saw me secure a full season driving a twin cam excel in the Excel Cup Series.

2019 I competed in Track Attack Excel Cup and also Australian Production Cars, winning the Class D championship.

2020 I decided to move to Australian Production Cars full time building a Mazda 3 MPS to contest the Class C Championship.  I debuted the car in Sydney before CoVid put an end to the APC Championship, I was able to run the car in the QPC meets later in the year when racing resumed allowing some development of the car and I won the Queensland Racing Drivers Association Production Touring Championship in the shortened season.
