Driver Information

I began with watching the local asphalt short tracks around eastern NC as a child. When I was 10 years old my father bought a dirt oval kart for me to begin racing. It took all year for me to finish on the lead lap but that race I won. I continued racking dirt karts until I was 22 and accumulated 15 wins, and many top 5s. All while racing all over the South East US with a very under budget operation. At that time I began working 7 days a week and also became crew member on an asphalt super late model.
In 2011 I joined the us army and my racing stopped. It was not until this year (2022) have I been able to step back into the driver's seat. On June 17th 2022 I started my first race in a DIRTcar Pro Stock at Can Am speedway with the help and support of my one person pit crew, my wife Adriana. That race was a success as I was battling with the next car and recorder my first top 10 of my DIRTcar career.
