How did you get started?

I got started when I was ten years old. My father and I were bored one weekend and had heard about karting from a friend of the family. We went down one sunday and watched kids at the local track racing. We both fell in love and have been racing every season since. Each year we move up and we've finally reached Stars of Karting.

List your competitive highlights:

I've won 3 club Championships at Badger Kart Club, near Milwaukee Wisconsin, and also have held 4 track records there. I'm finished 4th in the Midwest Sprint Series the past two years, and 6th in the Manufacturers Cup. Towards the end of 2006 was when we really started getting it together. The last 4 races on the season I never finished out of the top 3, and I won the final event in Shawano, Wisconsin. I have high hopes for 2007.

What are you planning for this season?

We are competing in the Spec Racer division in Stars of Karting, Competing the opener, finale, and the east events. Also a select amount of Manufacturers Cup and Midwest Sprint series races. My goal is to win the Spec Racer class for the east, and win the Grand Nationals. With our momentum from last season, we are really excited and look forward to accomplishing these goals.
