I have been racing competitively since 1992. I am the Team Manager and a driver for Freedom Autosport in the GRAND-AM Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge Street Tuner class. I currently works as a professional driving instructor with BMW Performance Driving School, Skip Barber Racing Schools and at Long Road Racing. I am a VIR Certified ‘House Driving Coach’ for Members Club Events and graduated from the University of North Carolina-Charlotte in 2004 with a degree in business marketing. Garnered my first Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge victory in Street Tuner class at Virginia International Raceway in 2009. Earned my first Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge Grand Sport pole at Watkins Glen International and landed career-best seventh-place Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge GS points finish in 2007. In my spare time I enjoy other sports like running, mountain biking, and tennis. I also spend quite a bit of off time in Greenville SC instructing for the BMW Performance Driving school.
