What is one surprising fact people may not know about you? That I am a custom painter and pinstriper and have several cars, trucks, and bikes that I have painted featured in several different magazines.

What got you started in R/C? I went to a local track and raced a rent car in a point series. I was lucky enough to win the point series, and have been hooked ever since.

Why do you race? I love the competition and the friendships that I have gained from racing r/c cars.

What would you like see happen to R/C in the coming years? Continued growth in the nitro classes, and a comeback for the 1/10 electric offroad in our area.
