Tell us about yourself.
I’m 35 years old and live in a small town. I’m engaged to the love of my life and have a beautiful 15 year old daughter, a 9 year old soon to be step-son who loves any kind of racing, a wonderful 4 year old son, and a 3 year old soon to be step daughter.




How did you get into racing? How old were you? First car/class?
My dad and mom both raced when I was young. They finally convinced me to race when I was 16. I started out in a 4 cylinder Pinto and wrecked my first 3 races. I won the 4th and the rest was history




What is your favorite racing memory?
Having the opportunity to race with some of the best in the business like the late Buck Simmons

Winning the Southeastern Latemodel Sportsman Series and the Winter Nationals at Oglethorpe Speedway Park. They were always goals of mine and it took a lot of hard work to win them.

I don’t like peanuts or $50 bills while in the pits.




What is the story behind running the number you choose?
I wanted a number that no one else would have




What is the hardest part of racing?
The fear of letting my fans, crew and family down
