How and where did you become involved in racing?
Brewerton and Fulton Speedways about 1975 my dad used to work on Deek Decker's Modifieds. I was hooked since the first time I went.

Describe your most humorous moment in racing:
2006 Victoria 4-Cylinder Enduro. My #7 car burst into flames and I kept driving it till it stopped running and had to be put out not once but twice..

Why do you race at Fulton Speedway?
Fast track plus I work on Tommy Sears Big Block Modified so it is convenient to let out my frustrations at the same time..

What are your most memorable moments in racing? Championships / Big Wins?
Being apart of a two time winning race team at Brewerton Speedway with the Commercial Roofing #83 of Tom Sears in 2007. Awesome.

What do you do when you are not racing and/or in the off-season?
Work, work, work. Hangout with my girls and ride snowmobiles with the guys from the race team. Have fun.

Comments / Is there anything else you would like the fans to know about you, the team, or your sponsors?
Would like to race a lot more but would like to see things a little bit tighter when it comes to the rules. But most of all I like to race as clean as possible but sometimes things happen, try not to take it personal it's just racing and a hobby at that.. Have fun, I do.
