How did you begin Trials riding? My Dad founded the sport when I was about two years old. I rode my first trials event when I was five years old.   

What inspired you to ride? Going to nationals throughout the county and then going to Trials Des Nation events all over the world with my friends.  

What are your personal and professional goals? My personal goal is to invest and buy a house of my own. My professional goal is to ride trials as long as I possibly can.   

What do you think is the hardest part about Trials riding? There is a lot of physical effort but the hardest is the mental effort that goes into Trials riding.  

Coolest place you have visited and why? A small country above Spain called Andorra. It was the coolest place I have visited because of the venue and the Alpine Coaster, a ride that went down the mountain.
