What or who do you credit your success to?
"My parents who got me in to R/C and made it a bi-weekly ritual when I was 6 years old. Later on Mike Reedy and Team Associated gave me my first sponsorship and believed in me from the beginning. After high school I got the opportunity to prove myself as a national contender and have since TQ’d the Worlds and won the Nationals."

How do you deal with pre-race nervousness?
"I tell myself that it’s just a club race. I’ll stretch a bit before the race and recite to myself, 'Smooth, consistent and no mistakes.' "

"It’s fun! I enjoy racing and it’s a great opportunity to travel around the world and meet new people and see new places. Who wouldn’t want to race R/C cars as a job?"
