How Did You Start Sim Racing?

I got into sim racing as a way to compete in motorsport in an affordable and attainable way. It started as just fun but quickly became a passion of its own.

What Does Sim Racing Mean to You?

Sim racing is both a passion and a way to continue pushing my competitive edge. It’s also a bridge between my love for motorsports and connecting with a broader racing community.

Goals as a Sim Racer:

My main goal is to compete at the highest level in iRacing, improve my consistency, and represent my team with excellence. I also want to inspire others to follow their racing dreams, both on and off the track.

Racing Experience:

I’ve been sim racing for about two years and currently hold an A license on iRacing. In addition to sim racing, I raced in Easy Kart, Rotax Kart, and ICC Shifter Kart Championships. I’ve also competed in several Auto X competitions and I’m looking forward to competing in a few NASA Time Trials (TTs) in the near future.

Favorite Car and Track:My favorite car is the McLaren 720S, and my favorite track is Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

Hobbies and Interests Outside of Racing:

When I’m not racing, I enjoy spending time with my family and working on my neuroscience and exercise science research projects.

Personal Motto or Inspiration

“Everybody falls down; it’s how fast you get up that counts.”
