About

Racing and motorsport has always been a fantasy of mine. It seemed so unattainable and, for a long time, I thought my dreams of going fast would forever live on the scratch paper with my childhood drawings. I chose Aerospace Engineering as my undergraduate major, because if I wasn't going to race cars or fly jets, I was still set on being involved in some way. This passion resulted in a string of decisions, unfortunate events, and good luck that enabled me to pursue my childhood dreams of going fast.

What's my motivation?

Growing up, I spent a lot of time at various after-school activities, like sports practices and music lessons. Even still, the memories and interests with the biggest impact on my decisions were the ones in my dad's 300ZX, my cousin's E36 M3, and at my dad's office where I would draw while he worked. My imagination was always filled with speedy (maybe cartoon-ish) vehicles being ridden by aliens. It was as if I could feel the speed as it came alive on paper. My dad kept those creations to this day and, ultimately, I chose to pursue engineering and give up on 10+ years of golf development.

In 2018, while I was in Detroit, Nick Love decided to take the plunge and start a race team. After a year of growing pains, the whole SAE team was back together to live the dream in wheel-to-wheel endurance racing. My first race was the ChampCar Sebring Double 7s in December of 2019 with Love Racing. Ever since, I've been doing everything I can to get more W2W seat time. Thanks to this great group of people believing in me, I have been able to race for podiums with multiple teams.
