Background

            I started my racing career on a barrel horse when I was three.  I raced at local horse shows and rodeos in the 6 and under class, losing only once when I knocked over a barrel.  When I was six my Dad let me drive a go kart for the first time.  That was pretty much the end of the horses.

            I raced go karts on local dirt and asphalt tracks from 2003-2005.  Since my dad was in the military and often deployed, I averaged less than 12 races per year.  I posted nine feature wins and numerous top 3 finishes.

            In 2005 I was awarded the Ultramax Racing Top Gun Award for achievement in my class while driving an Ultramax kart.  I also finished 2nd in the Nashville Kart Racing Series.

            2006 was my first year in Bandolero Race Cars.  In seven starts at the Music City MotorPlex in Nashville I had one feature win and four top five finishes.  In my rookie year I finished fourth in the MotorPlex track championship series.

            My Dad retired from the military in November, 2006.  This allowed me to run a full schedule of regional and national caliber races in Bandoleros during 2007.
