About

I have been involved in stock car racing practically my entire life. Coming from a family that has built and raced dirt track racecars since the late 1960s, I began attending races at the age of 6. I spent a large part of my childhood in the garage and engine shop, learning to build racecars. I grew up driving go-karts, but my parents -- being educators -- didn't allow me to drive racecars until I graduated from high school.

In 1994, my buddies and I built our first racecar and competed in the Street Stock Class at Trailway Speedway in Hanover, Pa. for the final five races of the season. We finished each race in the top 20, and a racing addiction had begun. The 1995 season brought two feature wins, numerous top-five finishes and second-place point championships finish for my first season. I won the Rookie of the Year award. In following seasons at Trailway, I earned several top-five point finishes and many other awards.

In 1998, I switched venues to compete at Hagerstown Speedway in Hagerstown, MD, where I raced in the Pure Stock Division through 2001 earning many top-five finishes, several Hard Charger awards and top-10 points finishes. I funded my racing addiction with small, local sponsorships and a part-time job while completing degrees in advertising and business management. In 2001, I got the chance to try his skills on an asphalt track for the first time, when a truck owner in the ARTS (All-star Racing Truck Series) offered me a ride. I finished in the top-five many times during the 2001 and 2002 seasons with the ARTS team.

In 2003, I became a NASCAR licensed driver and competed in the NASCAR Weekly Racing Series late model division for a limited schedule. However, under-funding and a lack of sponsorship, our team decided to return to local dirt racing where from 2004-2006 I have competed in several dirt racing divisions driving for myself and other car owners. For 2007 to present, now back in front of my hometown fans, I have concentrated efforts on racing a 358 Dirt Late Model set to compete at some of the east coasts premier dirt racing facilities including Hagerstown Speedway, Lincoln Speedway, Susquehanna Speedway and Williams Grove Speedway. In addition to my driving experiences, I have also been a crewmember on a NASCAR Craftsman Truck team, an ASA team and a USAR Hooters ProCup team and a NASCAR Busch Series team.
