Bio: Cars have been the one thing that I was always interested in. Unfortunately, my enthusiasm for motorsports came much later. I started autocrossing in early 2006 in my prized Civic Si. I showed up to my first event without knowing a single person or having a solid grasp on the way events were ran. However, by the end of the day, that had all changed; I was addicted. From that point on, even in my very first year, I looked for autocrosses to attend every single weekend. With plenty of help and co-drives along the way, I am always looking for ways to improve my driving abilities in all types of cars.

Despite changing cars and classes far too often, my dedication has never suffered. Now in my third year of Solo, I am on pace to attend nearly 30 events in one season. One day in the near future I plan to have a nationally competitive car that can be toured around the country. For now, I am perfectly content to campaign my "budget builds" around the neighboring regions.
