Driver Information
Dreamed of racing since I was a youngster. Dreams turned reality in 2017 and been running open wheel cars both wing and nonwing since 2018.
We average about 8-10 shows a year on a very limited budget and with the help of some great local sponsors.
Ran MTS nonwing points in 2018 and won rookie of the year honors and a 5th place in points. Haven’t been able to complete a full points season afterward as we switch between the GLTS nonwing as well as the GLSS wing series still within a limited budget.
I have 2 beautiful little kiddos who I spend the majority of my time with as well as an amazing wife who acknowledges my passion for the sport and has been patient and supportive of me racing for my dreams.
Been employed with the Michigan Department of Corrections since 2009 and have spent those years working as a Drill Instructor/ Corporal at the Prison Bootcamp SAI. From there I transferred to the Thumb Correctional Facility where I currently work as an Officer and Facility Training Instructor.
