How Did You Start Sim Racing? 

I’ve always loved racing in real life, and sim racing gives me the opportunity to enjoy it anytime while also gaining practice that translates to the road.

What Does Sim Racing Mean to You? 

Sim racing is a way for me to continue pursuing my racing dreams. It helps reignite my passion for racing and gives me hope to return to real-life racing one day.

Goals as a Sim Racer:

My goals are simple: win, win, win! I hope to leverage sim racing as a stepping stone to return to real-life racing.

Racing Experience:

I started racing karts at a young age and later became a coach at high-performance driving schools. Once my parents could afford it, I moved into club racing.

Favorite Car and Track:

The BMW GT3 and the Nürburgring.

Hobbies and Interests Outside of Racing:

I enjoy mountain biking, flying (both landing and skydiving), and anything that lets me go fast. I love spending time outdoors, including backpacking and camping, and I’m passionate about motorcycles.

Personal Motto or Inspiration:
