I grew up spending weekends at the track, either in the stands at the local oval or on two wheels in the dirt. I was on a motocross bike at four years old and raced motorcycles for the next fourteen years. The track was a second home.
Then I stepped away for about a decade to build a career. When I came back, I came back in a car. I earned my SCCA competition license, took every endurance seat anyone would give me, and worked my way to the Zenith Racing Series with Round 3 Racing. Everything those years on two wheels taught me was still there.
Racing has always been a family thing for me, and it still is. My dad was at every race when I was a kid, and having him back at a track means more to me than anything the results sheet says.
Off the track, I'm usually over-caffeinated, losing a wrestling match with my dog, or taking an old motorcycle out to get lost for an afternoon.
