Thank you for visiting my profile. I am a custom builder/driver looking for sponsor ship. I am also business executive and writer. Until now, I have funded 100% of my projects and driving. I enjoy building, driving, project management, and writing. More specifically, I enjoy show competition, and have designed and built a number of show winning projects. Of late, I have taken quite an interest in driving and I decided to build a couple of regulation level cars for drag and sport racing. With little more than 20 years experience, I am well suited to build the car right.
My first publicized show winner was a teenage project built with my close friend and next door neighbor back home in Mesa, Arizona. We built a 1969 VW Bug, Cali style, with many old school features. Some of these features included leaded panels, shaved handles, recessed lights and many other exciting features, including a '68 wiring job since we could not figure out the '69 schematics. The project won several shows and eventually took 2nd in class at the VW Trend Grand Nationals. This earned the interest of VW Trend magazine and captured a front page expose in the late '80's. Unfortunately, I have not had any other show winners reach major publication since, but that will change while my building ideas continue to pour forth.
Today, I am married with 3 children and live in the greater Seattle (Tacoma) area. Although most of the year is very wet here, it promotes lots of shop time preparing me for the fair weather season. In the past year I have taken such an interest in Drift racing that I am considering a Drift project soon (I love sliding sideways).
