2025 📸

This year felt pretty different, but it certainly flew by! 2025 was the first year since 2016 where I haven’t competed in a full racing championship. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t a busy year! 2025 was filled with fun adventures, new challenges, and of course, many long days at race tracks.

Some cool things that happened this year:

- Larry Wilson gave me an amazing opportunity to race his TQ Midget car for a few weekends! That car was such a blast to drive. The short ovals were definitely a new challenge, but so much fun. Huge thank you to Larry Wilson and Paul Weatherill for making this happen!

- I completed my 310S Automotive apprenticeship, and I’m now a Licensed Mechanic!

- I had the privilege of becoming a certified instructor at the new Porsche Experience Centre, Toronto! The PEC is such a special place, where I can share my passion for performance driving, and teach enthusiasts about some amazing Porsche vehicles.

- I travelled around to 5 historic American race tracks for the complete IMSA endurance schedule, spotting for the Conquest Racing Ferrari in GTD. It’s so special to be able to play a small part at the pinnacle of North American sports car racing!

I’m looking forward to the adventures, challenges, and opportunities that 2026 will bring. Happy New Year everyone! :)

2024 📸

Unforgettable memories with unforgettable people. I am incredibly grateful for all the opportunities this year.

Wishing everyone a happy new year, and all the best for 2025! :)

We came away from our last race weekend with a Pole position and a P3 finish!

We’re looking to build on that momentum this weekend

It’s looking like it could be a wet weekend, but race tracks seem to have their own weather systems 😅

The team is ready to tackle the challenge of , a high speed track where commitment is everything.

Let’s go!! 🏎️🇨🇦🏁

Ready for our 3 hour enduro at this weekend! 🤠

We had a challenging weekend at Sebring a couple of weeks ago, but we have many positives to take away. Always learning and improving with every lap! We are feeling more than ready to take on COTA with everything we’ve learned so far this season!

Thank you to our amazing crew for always giving 110% effort! It takes a village to go fast 🏎️🇨🇦

It is with a heavy heart that I share that my grandmother, Joyce Thompson, passed away on April 6th. She always loved to hear my racing stories and had come to watch me race go karts, but sadly never made it to see me race cars. I witnessed how Alzheimer’s robbed her of many memories and even the most basic of skills. She was my inspiration to begin my annual Alzheimer’s fundraiser to build awareness, support programming, and fund critical research. My grandmother handled the losses from Alzheimer’s in a way that showed me how to deal with ups and downs. Now in my 5th year of fundraising, I am more determined than ever to raise funds. The Gallone Family have generously agreed to continue to match all donations. Please consider making a donation – most of us know someone living with this difficult disease. There is a link to donate in my bio. Together we can make a difference.

Fantastic debut in the Pirelli series!

We’re leaving the weekend with two top ten finishes, a Super Fuel Hard Charger Award, and most importantly; an immaculate Mercedes AMG-GT4 race car.

Our #34 AMG-GT4 was dialled in, and we are very excited to carry this momentum forward to Sebring International Raceway on May 3rd-5th.

Thank you to the JMF motorsports team, our supporters, and all the fans for an unforgettable introduction into such an incredible series.

Bring on Sebring! 🏎️🇨🇦
