Words of Wisdom:
"No matter where you go, what you are doing, or who you are competing against, you will always meet people who will try to bring you down and It is completely unfair. But, you have the right to do what you are doing, and to keep pushing for a better you!"
"Never stop chasing your dreams or give up what you love at the hands of someone else."
Side Note:
"I met the love of my life at a dirt track, racing in competition against each other in 2016. We became friends, and later got together to then get engaged, at the very track we met at and raced together for the first time. We will be getting married in October, of 2018. It is so amazing to be able to share my life with someone who shares the same passion and be able to spend time with our families all together"
