Why Did I Become a BIGFOOT Driver:My father brought me to almost every monster truck show growing up, always remembered watching Bigfoot, and dreamed of one day driving that name.  With this opportunity I am truly grateful to be able to represent the Bigfoot name on my new truck.

Favorite Place To Do a Show:This is a tough one as they are all fun, but the crowd at Elko Speedway for their 4th of July show is crazy, and a ton of fun as that was the venue I performed my first ever show!

Like most about being a monster truck driver:The stories people tell about the first time they remember seeing the truck perform.

Ritual Done Before an Event:I always try to do a slow drive by the crowd and wave before freestyle, and try to hit the first jump with big air to announce my presence!

Something you want to try in a Bigfoot truck:Backflip...

Describe What Being a Monster Truck Driver is Like:Living a dream and trying to show every kid that looks up to you that hard work pays off, and you can do anything you put your mind to with dedication!
