I always try to have a smile on my face and a positive vibe. It has taken me a long time to get to this point in my career. I am one of the privateers trying to make it happen. In 2010 I was the only Miata in the Formula Drift circuit. Overcoming differences is just another day in the office. I moved to CA in 2004. I went to my first drift event hosted by Drift Association in Dec. 2004. In late 05 I started drifting more after overcoming so mechanical issues. I was also married to my beautiful wife, Bianca, in 2005. In 2007 I started competing. In 2008 I boosted my car and ran into more problems. I also had an addition to my family. My son Hudson was born in August. Driving whenever I had the time and money.

In 2009 after overcoming some mechanical issues and lack of funds some things came together. I placed 2nd in a regional Pro Am qualifier. I placed 2nd in a D1 drivers search. At the Formula Drift Pro Am nationals I ended up 8th and earned my Formula Drift License for 2010. I qualified in the top 32, Two out of the 3 events I entered. 2010 was an awesome year in Drift for me. I also had another addition to my family in 2010. In December by daughter Olive was born. I plan to put on the best show I can in 2011.
