I started drifting when I was 9 years old, first tried drifting and learned to drift directly on ice, in ice competitions. Realizing that drifting was my sport, I slowly started getting ready for the official race, at the age of 10 and 11 I took the test stages in Street class and Semi pro class with my dad car, and I realized more and more that drifting was mine. For the 12th anniversary, I was getting a Pro car from HGK, which meant I had to move up a class –SemiPro. In my region, the Semi pro class is very strong, athletes from around the Baltic. I finished 11th in the 2018 season because I had to use this car-from street to pro, but I finished the 2019 season with 1 place in the Semi pro class –Latvian Drift Cup-winner 2019.

2020 was exciting - at the beginning of the year I participated in the Oman Oil drift championship, where I also won the 2nd place in the competition, but in the overall rating I took the 3rd place in the shared 5/6 place. Then the season in Europe started, starting in June I played almost every weekend. In the overall rating of the season I became the youngest winner of both the Baltic Drift Championship and the Latvian / Livonia Drift Championship.

2021 season. The first participation was in the FIA World Cup, where I get second place- FIA IDC vice champion. After this performance came the opportunity to be part in the Aimol racing team, where my teammate was the world's most famous drifter, James Dean. I spent the entire remaining season of 2021 in the RDS Championship. In addition, i must be noted that in the first stage I became the youngest winner who won the RDS stage, and in my first stage in the championship.

2022 it's an exciting season at the moment, I'm spending the season with my training car and trying to participate in as many different races as possible for training purposes. The first half of the season started in June, when my training car was finally ready, since then I have been participating in various drift events - competitions almost every weekend. In the continuation of the season, it is planned to participate in various international competitions.
