How and where did you become involved in racing?
I always loved racing no matter what it is. We started racing Modlites this year at Brewerton Speedway.

Describe your most humorous moment in racing:
I guess when Jeff Barker came over to me and was worried about bent rims, it's racing not a parade what do you expect.

Why do you race at Brewerton Speedway?
It's tight racing so its exciting. Plus its 5 minutes from home.

What are your most memorable moments in racing? Championships / Big Wins?
I guess running 2nd in a heat but we are getting better hoping for a win soon.

What do you do when you are not racing and/or in the off-season?
Work on making the car better and riding bikes snowmobiles and anything with a motor.

Comments / Is there anything else you would like the fans to know about you, the team, or your sponsors?
Well we just started racing cars after racing motocross since I was 3 and just broke way to many bones. I've wrecked my car about 5 times and no broking bones I love it. We are learning a lot and keep getting better.
