You can't take the next step without thanking the people who helped you take your first step

After a year and a half with Jensen Global Advisors, I am moving to a new team. Transitions like this are bittersweet. The excitement of new possibilities is balanced against the reality of saying goodbye to people you genuinely care about — the people who showed up for you and helped prepare you for your next chapter.

But goodbye doesn't really mean goodbye. Racing is a small world, and we'll continue to cross paths at the track, at events, and beyond.

With that in mind, I want to express my deepest gratitude to the entire Jensen team for everything you've given me:

Thank you, Mike.

Thank you, Connor.

Thank you, Eli.

Thank you, Tyler.

Thank you, Joe.

Thank you, Beau.

And most of all — thank you, Eric. For putting me in a car for the first time, for helping me build a strong foundation in the science of racing, and for being my coach, mentor, and friend.
