I began my quest at Skip Barber racing school and have continued working my way up the ranks. From Skip Barber I moved on to race Mazda Spec Miata's at both a national and regional level. Within a year of racing the Spec Miata series I moved up to pro racing in the SCCA Pro Racing Playboy Mazda MX-5 Cup. The next goal was to advance from the SCCA Pro Racing Playboy Mazda MX-5 Cup to Grand-Am Koni Challenge. From there I hope to ascend into either the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series or the American Le Mans Series.
There are two logical paths from the above series: become an official factory driver for a car manufacturer or a paid driver for a privateer team. While both options are very difficult to attain, once achieved, I can officially be considered a professional race car driver.
Although these two series are the logical steps in the North American ladder for a sports car racer, my ultimate dream would be to transition to yet a third channel. The third channel would entail progressing from either the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series or the American Le Mans Series to Europe and competing in the Porsche Supercup. Success in the Porsche Supercup championship would facilitate an advance into the FIA GT Championship. FIA GT is arguably the pinnacle of all sports car racing; I intend through perseverance and dedication to one day reach this lofty summit.
