About Me
I am currently a student at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, CA studying Mechanical Engineering. I have studied race cars and vehicle dynamics for the past few years and I designed the suspension for Cal Poly’s Formula SAE car. This car can perform better than any production car made! With this design experience, I have extensive car setup and suspension tuning experience. (www.formula.calpolysae.org)
In addition to school, I am certified as a driving instructor for Hooked on Driving. (www.hookedondriving.com)
My racing record is below. I have driven a wide variety of race cars, from momentum cars with barely 100 hp, to 430 hp ground pounders.

In the recent year and a half, I have competed in the Formula SAE collegiate competition in Silverstone Raceway, UK, and the North American International Competition at Auto Club Speedway in California. I also ran some Camaro-Mustang Challenge events, some ITE events, and even a 4 hour endurance race at Laguna Seca.
Future
I am currently persuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering, with a concentration in Race-car Vehicle Dynamics and fabrication. I’m looking to make a career out of driving; I can drive anything and everything that I am given the opportunity to.
Whether it be Formula cars, or heavy sedans, I think I have what it takes, I know I can drive, I just need the opportunities! I am a very marketable driver, with a lot to bring to a team. If you think you can assist me in achieving my goals, please contact me!
