Driver Information

I Started out racing by being on a pit crew for Several years while I was in High school. Could never afford my own car at that time but worked on the neighbors stock car until I graduated and left for the US Army.
Got into Racing Motocross at my first assignment in Germany thinking that would be cheaper and easier. I found that it was fun but harder on the body and actually more costly than racing cars. I didn't really get to start racing till after Desert Storm and I was stationed in Alaska at Fort Wainwright in 1992.
I got back into cars when I started to Tech for North Star Speedway in 2001. I Teched all classes except for the Legends class While I worked at North Star Speedway. I finally was able to actually start Racing in 2004 at North Star Speedway. I Bought a Baby Grand Stock car and have been running the same car since. Just keep maintaining the upgrades as they come each year.
Returned from Recruiting Duty with the US Army to Alaska and in 2017 and had some medical problems that kept me from racing. Had a bit of issues with motor in the 2018 season and once that was fixed I had a bit of a unforeseen circumstance that finished my season. My 2019 season started out not well since the first race I broke my foot and took me out for the remainder of the season.
This is going to be the season that everything will go good and everyone is going to have a blast! Good luck to All Drivers in 2020!!

Most Memorable Moment


I Retired from the US ARMY after 30+ years and I am a very proud veteran of the United States.
