Bio
For as long as I can remember I have been obsessed with racecars. More specifically I’m obsessed with driving them faster than anyone else can. To be honest, I’m not much of a car guy, in fact I couldn’t give a damn whats under the hood, whats makes it go, or how sexy it looks, basically I just like being able to drive it better than anyone else. In 2009 I have been competing, and winning, in the VW Jetta TDI Cup, a one make series with all equal cars, designed to show who has the most talent for getting the car around the track. In a few years I hope to be standing on the top step of the Podium at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the most grueling car race in the world.

Accomplishments
2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup – Multiple Race Winner
