Early years
Hickham grew up on a ranch just outside Corpus Christi, Texas. He won 3rd place in bull riding at The Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo in 2005. At the start of his sophomore year in high school, Hickham moved to Port Aransas, Texas, to focus more on his career in racing.

Career
On March 17, 2006, at the first round of the Star Pro Formula Mazda race in Sebring, Florida, Hickham had his first race start as a professional race driver. He finished 12th, having run in the top five for part of the race. He placed 18th in the Labor Day Grand Prix of Motorsport on September 2, 2006. Hickham ultimately finished 25th in points, with a best finish of 10th at Road America in his first season. He won the Championship in the 2006 SWFM Pro Car Series. Hickham made a showing at the 2007 SCCA Runoffs, only to suffer from mishaps in turn one of the first lap. The following weekend, he was back in the pro Mazda at Laguna Seca, finishing 8th behind his teammate Marco DiLeo. Hickham then made a move from open wheel racing to full body cars.

In the 2008 SCC Grand Am / Grand Sport series, Hickham's final position was 115th.

Hickham and his co-driver, his father Steve Hickham Sr., continued to compete with each other as a father/son race team until 2010. He would take a 3 year hiatus while attending fire fighting school, and EMT school at Coral Springs Fire Academy in Coral Springs, Florida. In 2013 he would return to open wheel racing with K-Hill Motorsports for the Sportscar Vintage Racing Association (SVRA) invitational at Circuit Of The Americas (COTA) in Austin, Texas to drive the Hapag-Lloyd Lola 97-20 Indy lights car. He was able to score a 2nd place in class and a 3rd place overall behind his close family friend Gaston Kearby and ahead of his father Steve. Over the next 4 years Hickham would make appearances on track, but just for hire, coaching, or for fun.

In 2020 Hickham started racing off-road racing with a Can-Am side by side in the Outlaw Off-Road Racing Series at Tex-Plex motorsports park in Midlothian, Texas. Hickham was able to capture his heat win on June 18, 2021 (driving for sponsors: Design lab / Turbomachinery / cbdMD / Ballyhoo Plastics / S3 Powersports / 5D Evolution / Rocks Discount Vitamins and More / Dirt Monkey / PAGID brake pads / Paragon Products) as stated on his Facebook only to suffer from a part failure during the feature race. Hickham still continues to race in the Outlaw Off-Road Racing Series.
