Driver Information

Born in California and growing up in Daytona, I caught the racing bug at the age of 10.

My first time racing at Daytona was motocross during Amateur Day, which kicked off Bike Week. Since that day, more than anything to find a way to do just that, except on there asphalt.

In 2003 Spec Miata was just getting started and the lure of being able to go racing for $10,000 at tracks like Daytona, Sebring, Homestead, Morroso, Road Atlanta and Virginia International Raceway was amazing.

With our girls getting older, a back injury, college looming and wanting to be debt free, I took a pause in racing but looked forward to the day I could follow my next goal of having fun racing and support my local short track.

Professionally I have worked for Best Buy, Apple and now FastLap Group delivering world class results and supporting amazing customer and team member experiences.

Everything I have been blessed with in life is from God and greatest thing I have ever been apart of, being married 28 years to my wife Erin.
