Driver Information

Our family moved from Seattle to Spokane in the late '70's when i was fourteen years old. I was mechanically inclined at a young age and had taken a interest in small engines and automobile engines which from there on i started diagnosing and repairing automotive engines, And eventually i learned how to overhaul/rebuild engines for which i have so many people who saw that i was willing to learn the skills of automotive repair. I am self taught and never took any automotive courses or technical school training. I learned a lot with a hands on approach to the automotive trade. And to this very day i still repair & build my own engines for our race cars and do all the repairs and maintenance on them myself. And I also do the work to keep our daily drivers up and running as well.

Career Highlights


I had raced for several years before i had won my first Bump To Pass class season championship in 2007. And part way through the 2008 racing season i was seriously injured while working at my job. So i was not able to finish out the 2008 season. Then when 2009 season rolled around i had talked to friends of mine and one of them took over driving my race car for the first time and went on to winning the class championship in 2009 in a dominating fashion. He then went into the 2010 season and by the end of it he finished the season second in the points standings. After the 2010 season was over he tells me it's time to retire my current race car. He then tells me he is going to build me a new car and so he proceeds to do so. For which i am so thankful for to this very day. He then debuted it in 2011 and drove it that entire season while i was recovering from three major surgeries. By 2012 i was fully recovered and was able to drive again and went to win championships in 2013 and 2017.
