About:

I am currently a senior at Guilderland Central High School. I am an only child but I enjoy spending time with my extended family. I have several relatives in South Carolina. I love racing and anything to do with it. I enjoy taking things apart and putting them back together. My dad and I build our race car and work on it daily. I am interested in pursuing a career in mechanical engineering but I would love to be able to race full time. We are a racing family and I am fortunate that I am able to spend a lot of time with them. In our spare time my dad and I like to build and work on hot rods. I enjoy spending time with the fans especially the kids. You can learn so much from them. I have enjoyed doing community service in the past by helping out in my church or with local senior citizens. I also enjoy listening to some of the old time racers talk about how things have changed.

 

Racing Goals:
Right now I need to concentrate on trying to get more seat time. The weather the last two summers has been quite rainy and a lot of races have been cancelled. There is still a lot that I need to learn. This winter my dad and I are hoping to be able to put together another car so that I can race two tracks full time next season. I would like to travel more to get more experience on different tracks. Within the next five years I would love to be able to race a Late Model or be able to run in the Super Dirt Series.
