Accomplishments

Have been involved with many forms of racing . Each one I've learned things that should be common guidelines throughout the industry . And also there are situations that are going to arise and the best thing that can be done is analyze the facts and make the fairest decdecision possible . And learn from that situation to hopefully prevent from happening again.


The ultimate goal is to make the competitors and workers around you feel like everyone is treated as fairly and equally as possible .

Have raced and won dirt modified races.

In 1997 I decided to start racing the cars I built. I was always proud of seeing my customers win in my cars . But winning in my own designed car was pretty special. I designed  many ideas that others that have had the resources have profited from.
