I always had a passion for cars and racing since growing up watching the Cars movie, but never thought about it seriously until 2020, when I started following Formula 1. A year later, I picked up F1 2021 on a PS4 with a Logitech G29 and started sim racing. What began as a casual hobby turned into something I took seriously fast.

Over the next few years, I saved money from work and birthdays to gradually build my setup, finishing it in 2025 with the hardware I had always wanted. In late 2023, I moved to iRacing and shifted into a more competitive mindset. That paid off when I qualified to represent Canada at the 2024 FIA Motorsport Games in Valencia in the esports category. Budget constraints kept me from going, but that just made the next opportunity matter more.

In September 2025, I qualified for Canada again, this time for the NACAM Games in Mexico, a North and Central American motorsport competition. I competed and proudly brought home a bronze medal.

While the sim side was developing, I was also building real-world experience. In 2024, I joined a rental karting league at Goodwood Kartways, finishing 4th in the standings with 11 podiums from 12 races. In 2025, I moved to the Mosport arrive-and-drive league and finished 2nd in the championship with 13 podiums in 14 races, multiple wins, and Rookie of the Year.

Now in 2026, I'm making the jump to real-world racing in an actual race car, competing in the Miata Canada Cup with Team Red Green. This is the first real step toward IndyCar. The goal this season is to learn, adapt, and prove that sim racing is one of the most effective tools for developing a racing driver. But more than that, it's about proving I belong.
