I am just a regular guy that's works just like everyone else, and enjoy racing on Saturday nights. I would have to say if I didn't have racing I would probably go crazy with my boys and wife driving me up the wall LOL JK. I feel racing has brought my boys and I together cause its something we can do together and not argue or fight about it. I began racing 12 years ago when a buddy of mine took me to Texas Thunder Speedway in Alvin and I enjoyed it so much that within a few months I was out there in the bomber class running the #10. Slowly but surely I grew in knowledge and skill in racing which brought me to where I am today. I thank my friends and family who always supported me and helped me in every way possible. That's basically all I have to say, you can count on seeing us there every Saturday. Good luck to all the racers.
