about

  • What are some of your interests/hobbies/favorite pastimes?
    My favorite thing is to spend time with my family. When I’m not hanging out with them, you can catch me on the baseball field or on the golf course.
  • Who are your role models?
    When I think of role models, the first person that comes to mind is my dad. Not only is he my role model, but more importantly, he’s my hero.
  • Do you have any pre-event rituals you run through?
    Once the nerves start to kick in, I’ll give my mom a call because she always knows what to say to calm me down. After that, I’ll cap the ritual off by listening to Spanish music. Listening to that always reminds me of home and soothes my mind.
  • What’s something a lot of people don’t know about you?
    My obsession with golf. If I could, I’d be at the course 7 days a week. I’m also a huge Chicago Cubs fan, but that should come as no surprise. Go Cubs Go!
  • What is your favorite memory on or off the racetrack?
    My favorite memory would have to be my debut. Seeing my name on the arena ribbon boards for the first time as well as having my family in attendance is something I’ll never forget! My family has always been extremely supportive throughout this journey of mine, so to have them there, meant everything to me!
  • What is your most prized possession?
    My two boys, Simba and Milo. They’re the best dogs ever!

life on the road

  • What is the best and worst thing about being on the road every weekend with Monster Jam?
    The best thing about being on the road is getting to meet all the awesome Monster Jam fans! The only downside about being on the road is having to be away from my family.
  • While on tour, what is your favorite thing to do during your free time?
    I like to hang out with friends and go explore whichever city we’re in that given weekend. Each city has their own unique culture, so it’s fun to get out and experience that.
  • How do you keep fit?
    I work out 5 days a week and try my best to eat clean.
  • What item(s) can you not live without while traveling on the road with Monster Jam?
    My phone. I can live without it at home, but on the road, it keeps me connected to my family back home.
  • What is your favorite city to travel to? Why?
    Los Angeles, CA. Not only is the weather always beautiful, but they have the best tacos in the world.
  • What countries have you visited with Monster Jam?
    Mexico and Canada

career

  • How did you get started competing in Monster Jam?
    At the age of 6, Little Abe had a dream to one day pilot a Monster Jam truck. I made a promise to myself that I would not give up until I turned that dream into a reality. 23 years later I am now living the life I once dreamed of! All glory to God!
  • What is your favorite part about competing in Monster Jam?
    Being able to inspire not only my siblings, but the next generation to really dream big and chase their dreams! I’ve been blessed with this platform so I want to make sure I can help as many people as possible.
  • How would you describe your driving style?
    Smooth. Controlled. Fast. Wild. Crazy.
  • What advice would you give to kids who want to become a Monster Jam driver?
    It’s important to remember that whether you want to be a Monster Jam driver or an astronaut, you have to work hard. Failure is a huge part of the process. It’s important to not get discouraged while chasing your dream. Great things take time so it’s important to have patience. All the hard work that you put in will eventually pay off. You just have to still be standing there when it does!!
  • What is your greatest memory as a Monster Jam driver?
    The greatest memory for me was getting to learn from the legend, Tom Meents. Having him as my instructor at Monster Jam University is something I’ll treasure forever.
  • Who in Monster Jam do you look up to for inspiration?
    Coty Saucier, Armando Castro, and Bari Musawwir. All three of them went from being super fans to superstars. Their stories helped give me hope throughout my journey to get here.
