about
about - What are some of your interests/hobbies/favorite pastimes?
I love to create and work on things, so when I have free time, I tend to be out in the garage. I got into 3-D printer several years ago, which has been cool as I’ve been able to mesh it with my other hobbies and even made things for the trucks. Also, I’m big into radio controlled vehicles, specifically monster trucks, but I’ve been dabbling with planes as well. - Who are your role models?
My biggest role models would have to be my parents for the lessons they taught me over the years, such as perseverance or just being the best person that I can be. - What’s something a lot of people don’t know about you?
I graduated high school a year early. - What is your favorite memory on or off the racetrack?
My favorite memory on the track so far would have to be re-debuting the truck, Excaliber, in Mansfield, OH in the Summer of 2023. It had a lot of meaning to me and was my first event competing. I couldn’t have asked for a better debut weekend. I was surrounded by family and friends, and the support was nothing short of amazing!

- 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 every weekend with Monster Jam is that I’m living my dream week in and week out. The worst thing is being away from family and friends back at home, especially for extended periods of time. - While on tour, what is your favorite thing to do during your free time?
My favorite thing to do during my free time would have to be hanging out with the drivers and technicians who have become like family and seeing different parts of the cities we visit. - How do you keep fit?
I’d say I keep fit from the work that goes into maintaining, fixing, and setting up these Monster Jam trucks every week. - What item(s) can you not live without while traveling on the road with Monster Jam?
Without a doubt my phone. It’s not only a way for me to stay connected with friends and family, but it’s essential for day-to-day activities.

- How did you get started competing in Monster Jam?
My father has been driving Monster Jam trucks for over 30 years, so I’ve been around it my whole life. Growing up, I always knew it was what I wanted to do and that one way or another I would reach this dream. Tomfoolery Motorsports needed another technician for the 2023 season and offered me the spot to which I couldn’t refuse. I learned a lot working with them and even got to drive at some independent events. I ended up joining Send It Motorsports in the fall of 2024 and would work as a technician for both Jon Zimmer, Sr. and Jon Zimmer, Jr. for the 2025 season before getting my spot behind the wheel. - What is your favorite part about competing in Monster Jam?
My favorite part about competing in Monster Jam would be seeing the joy that we as drivers bring to fans’ faces and getting to compete against my friends. - How would you describe your driving style?
I would say that my driving style currently is technical and controlled. - What advice would you give to kids who want to become a Monster Jam driver?
My best advice is to never give up and don’t be afraid to get knocked down. Work hard and stay focused on your dreams. - Who in Monster Jam do you look up to for inspiration?
It’s hard to choose just a few as I look up to everyone. From the veterans of the sport to the second-generation drivers, there’s a lot that can be learned from them.
