Meet the Athlete

Born in Great Falls, Montana, Cam played all sports - basketball, football, skiing, golf, track & field, motocross, and BMX. Over time, Cam decided he loved racing more than everything else but could typically only ride/ race four months out of the year due to snow and cold weather. With only two outdoor tracks in Montana, he and his parents would make long drives to Utah in the winter to ride his BMX bike at an indoor track. There were multiple years growing up, Cam was the only BMX racer in the entire state of Montana competing in his age group.

Growing up, how did youth sports, cycling or others, impact who you are today?

I absolutely loved competition. No matter what it was, I always had to make things competitive. Whether it was school recess or a national BMX race I was going to bring my best effort. I think having that mindset as a young kid helped shape who I am today as a person. You can always expect my best effort.

What is your favorite quote or piece of advice to live by?

What is one of the most pivotal experiences you've had that helped get you to where you are today?

I would say just having a supportive family. Without them, I would have never ended up in Arizona and been able to pursue my dreams. They sacrificed what we called home for 16 years largely in part to support my goals and that was the turning point in my racing career. I definitely would not be where I am without my parents and countless others who have helped me a long the way.
