Racing Biography
started out racing winter enduros then started racing at CNS in the super stock division. I also traveled to cheyanne and nebraska and picked uptop 5 finishes there. In 2007 i ran my first full season in the division and picked up 8th in points. And now looking forward to being successful in the modified coupe division. Other than that many of my accomplishments have been in football, baseball, and wrestling throughout the years.

Favorite Sprint Cup Driver?
Matt Kenseth; i always seemed to like the attitude of the guy. He is a clean driver and seems like a good person off the track. My high school football coach and i shared this. We wouldalways chat at school about the previous race and when i would be walking by he would always yell out KENSETH

Personal Hero?
My whole family are my heroes,but if i picked one it would be my grandpa. I had always looked up to him in so many ways.I haven really looked at him as a grandpa but more like a best friend.We share stories and talk about women all the time. He is the person that looked forward to me succeeding in sports school etc... I would like to try my best to follow in his foot steps.

Superstitious?
On race day i wear the same socks i wore at the pepsi center for the state wrestling tournament for good luck. I also like to listen to my i pod to get me amped up for the day. The night before i like watching family guy before i go to bed
