Drifting Background: I watched Drift Indy/MDU at Lucas Oil in 2010 as an early teenager with legends like Clinton, T2 Mike, Highlife, Nackers, and told myself I had to do this one day. Bought an Rx7 FC and drove my first event, NSB 2012, second event was MDU same year, drove nearly every MDU event up until 2016 with the same Rx7 FC I started with. Stepped back for a couple years and wanted to build something weird and crazy, picked up the Lincoln LS DEW98 chassis and here we are today. Drifting has always been an obtainable motorsport, and that's what I love about it, you don't need sponsors and $100k to be able to enjoy it. The past several years I have been longing for a competitive environment that would push me to keep developing the Lincoln LS and my skills as a driver, when DIGP came along I knew this was exactly what I was looking for.

Fun Fact:I pretty much work my dream job, restoring cars for Team Penske, and traveling to various events like Goodwood FOS to show them off.
