Racing History (series or street):   Started racing in 1996 when I was 16 and mostly on the street. Starting participating in the Sears Craftsman ET series in 1997 at Pomona Raceway and was ranked in the Top 10 in Street class for 2 years. Represented Team Pomona for the Division 7 Sears Craftsman ET Series Final at Speedworld Motorplex. Racing took a backseat, no pun intended, as I focused on getting my degree from the University of Southern California and upon graduation started working in our family business. After a 6 year break in 2008 the itch to start racing again needed to be scratch. So, my dad and I teamed up and bought our current car and we are looking forward to competing in Wild Street.

Class:   Wild Street

Car:  2002 Pontiac Trans Am, Small Block LSX motor, Nitrous, etc... 

Future plans for car and or Race Team:  Need to build a faster combination to compete and win in Wild Street. Much respect to the current racers and how fast they are going.

Biggest racing rival(s):  No one in particular except for whoever is in the other lane.

Racing Accomplishments: Nothing significant yet.
