Bio
From Rhode Island and currently working as a Mechanical Engineer for a company in the defense industry, Saxon graduated with a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology from New England Institute of Technology in 2018 with a 3.94 GPA. Racing began on a simulator 12 years ago, with my real-world racing career beginning six years ago, in 2018. With a very minimal budget, I have been fortunate to demonstrate my talent both on and off the track by being nominated, and then made a finalist, twice, by Mazda Motorsports for its annual Mazda MX-5 Cup Shootout. Leaning on my engineering background, I set up my own race car, and coach many other drivers, hired by racing schools, Mazda and many fellow competitors, which help me fund my racing effort as I seek to turn pro. I am a highly motivated and never stop pushing to achieve my goals and dreams. I entered the Prodigy Racing League as an alternate path to go pro, based on merit and not personal funding.
