Boss' Story

My journey began when I was just one year old. My Dad had gifted me a Ferrari F1 power wheels car. Though I could not reach the pedals, this marked the beginning of a core passion of my childhood. For years, I would build, design, and race remote control cars and go karts. When I learned about the local kart club, I was desperate to give it a shot. There was just something so fascinating about chasing perfection to the point of failure that made me feel invincible. Like there was a purpose on this Earth that I was destined to achieve.

2021
The 2021 season marked the beginning of a strong competitive ascent with a championship in the CKRC Briggs & Stratton cadet class. Racing at Strathmore Motorsports Park with the Calgary Kart Racing Club, the year showcased consistency, racecraft, and an itch to go faster. Securing the title established a solid foundation and demonstrated my eager potential within Alberta’s karting community.

​

2022
In 2022, that momentum continued with a second consecutive CKRC Briggs Junior championship, confirming a mastery of the LO206 category. The season also included my first steps into Rotax Junior Max, a significant move into higher performance machinery where I was thrown into the deep end through my first national presence at the Rotax Canada Final. Coming up short solidified one idea in my mind, "I will come back next year and I will win." Balancing both classes effectively highlighted adaptability and ambition, and signaled readiness for more advanced levels of competition.

​

2023
The 2023 season was defined by full commitment to Rotax Junior Max, Returning to the Canada Final once again, this time with a grittier and stronger driven mindset, backed up by a season of experience. I was able to win the event and officially punched my ticket for the prestigious Rotax MAX Challenge Grand Finals as part of Team Canada. Competing on equal-spec equipment against top drivers from around the world, this achievement represented a major career milestone. The Grand Finals experience elevated technical skill, mental resilience, and international racing exposure.

​

2024
In 2024, progression continued with the swift transition into Rotax Senior Max, a higher-power, highly competitive, bigger brother to the junior level category. Throughout the season, multiple wins and podium finishes across North America demonstrated strong pace, improved racecraft, and the ability to compete at the front of a demanding senior field, regardless of the mental and physical advantage that the older drivers possessed over me. This year solidified readiness for the next step beyond karting while maintaining a strong presence in the North American karting scene.

​

2025
The 2025 season marked the move from karting into open-wheel racing with a debut in the Toyo Tires F1600 Championship. The switch to formula cars represented a major leap in technical complexity, physical demands, and race dynamics. Despite the challenge of transitioning from karts to single-seaters, I ended the season in third with multiple race wins and podiums, confirming competitiveness at the next level and establishing a strong foundation for future advancement in formula racing.
