Biography

What does your boat’s name and/or number mean?

The number 86 marks a new milestone in the team’s boats: N56, N66, N76, and R86.
Thunderstruck represents the team’s intensity and impact.

 

What made you want to become a hydroplane driver?

I have been involved in racing for several years on the mechanical side, in the construction and performance of our novice boats. I made the jump to becoming a driver last year to fully experience being on the water and take on a new challenge.

 

What are your goals for the 2026 season?

  • Continue to improve as a driver
  • Consistency and competitiveness in Class R
  • Contribute to the development of the young members of the Sixth Sense Racing team
  • Deliver strong performance and a high-quality show
