When and how did you get into racing?
I started racing part-time in 1995 after my days of racing motorcross and participating in the Firemen's Olympic and World Fire & Police Games. I was looking for a sport that would challenge me, present new opportunities and give me a lifetime of memories. NHRA Drag Racing was a perfect match. I started racing a full schedule in 1999.
Most memorable moment in your career:
Winning my first NHRA event. Being number one qualifier over an entire season competing against 300 other competitors. Finishing number three in the Jegs Allstar points. Number one in the KD Canopy Shootout.
