How did you get involved with racing? I am a second generation driver. My dad raced street stocks when I was very young and I loved helping him work on them.

Most memorable moment in racing? My first feature win on August 11, 2006 to include hitting the wall on the opening lap. Hauling my dad's street stock to the track and the fire extinguisher going off inside the truck! Watching my dad race and working on the car at a junkyard.

What other hobbies do you have? I race an RC Sprint Car at Dirt Runners in NJ. I love fishing, playing guitar, and cycling (both mountain biking and road).

What are your goals in racing? Someday I hope to run Eastern States and Super Dirt Week in a Big Block Modified. For now, top 10 finishes at Accord.
