I’m a professional test driver and racecar driver living in San Angelo, Texas with my beautiful wife and two amazing daughters. We’ve called West Texas home since 2010, but I grew up in Richmond, VA - quite the change of scenery!
I started racing in high-school when my Dad and I discovered autocross at a local car show in Richmond. I autocrossed and competed in Baja SAE throughout college, graduating in 2008 with a Mechanical Engineering degree from the University of Virginia. Post-college, I worked for Honda R&D, started driving with the Team Honda Research, and got into kart racing at Circleville Raceway in Ohio.
Work and the dream of learning to be a test driver brought my wife and I to San Angelo - home of the Goodyear Proving Grounds. My role as a test driver has given me amazing opportunities to learn form the best in the industry and travel all over the globe testing at iconic racetracks (Nurburgring, VIR, Road Atlanta, etc.) and proving grounds like the Southern Hemisphere Proving Grounds in New Zealand.
During my time in Texas, I competed in National SCCA Solo events with my Dad and co-drivers Lane Borg and Deana Kelley in a wide variety of cars in addition to shifter kart racing in the Texas Pro Kart Challenge. I won two National Championships in SCCA Solo - 2011 in an A-Stock Corvette and 2015 in a C-Street Scion FR-S.
The desire to wheel to wheel race was strong and I switched to SCCA Road Racing in 2016 starting with the Touring 4 class and then on to my current passion in 2017 - Spec Racer Ford. The SRF journey has been amazing for my career - I’ve learned so much, met lifelong friends, and started a business as a driver coach primarily centered around the SRF community. In SRF, the cars are incredibly equal. As a driver, there is nowhere to hide a lack of pace or racing ability by buying more horsepower. The only way to compete and win races is to learn to qualify and race with the best in the country.
I’ve been fortunate to compete in the One Lap of America three times (2019, 2021, and 2022) including as part of a factory Goodyear effort in a 2018 Camaro ZL1 1LE in 2022. Along with three other top SRF competitors, I began endurance racing with the World Racing League in 2021 and 2022 with multiple podiums and a clean record. There is nothing like hopping in the racecar after two hours of sleep and a 1:15 AM alarm and driving a flat-out stint around the Sebring darkness!
My over-arching racing goal is to put together everything I have learned as a professional test driver and SRF racer and move into professional racing with the Trans Am series. The TA2 class offers outstanding value for partners and has world-class B2B business opportunities. I am actively seeking partners that want to join me on the Trans Am journey where I feel confident we can deliver results on and off the track!
