Driver Profile

I grew up in Butler, Pennsylvania about 15 minutes from Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pennsylvania. For as long as I can remember my dad would take me to the races on Friday nights as a young kid and that's where I got my desire to race sprint cars. I raced Motocross as a kid in western Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Nevada. Motorsports has always been in my blood and the desire to master man versus machine has always been a challenge i've enjoyed. I joined the Army at the ripe age of 18 as an AH-64 Apache Helicopter Mechanic. I had always wanted to be a pilot like my Uncle who served in Vietnam and was a pilot over a 20+ year career. I figured the best way to learn about what i wanted to fly was to work on it first. I went to U.S Army Flight School in 2013 where I learned to fly the OH-58D Kiowa Scout Helicopter and the C-12 Huron multi-engine airplane. I'm currently stationed in Fort Worth, TX. I plan on leaving the service after faithfully serving for 20 years. Currently I'm a Commercial airline pilot. I will be running at Kennedale Speedway Park in the #42L & #42C 305 Sprint Cars with maybe a few other shows at some other tracks in the state of Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. Thanks for reading, and if you see me at the track come say hi and check out the car! Happy to be a part of the Dirt track Community!

Set sprint car track record at Fayetteville motor speedway in NC.
