Since the days of my childhood, my passion for motorsports has evolved into an overwhelming obsession. Aside from the obvious points of interest typically associated with an automotive enthusiasm, I have always been fascinated by the boundaries pushed; the limits exceeded; and the personal achievements involved in the process.

After attending the first SCCA Formula Drift event at Road Atlanta in 2004, I was hooked & hellbent… spending 2004 behind the wheel at every drift event within reach from Atlanta, I created a solid foundation to transition into professional drifting.

I competed in the 2005 SCCA Formula Drift season in it’s entirety. I campaigned my e46 325Ci on my own dime, as the only European car in the championship, managing two Top-32 finishes (Atlanta & Houston).

During the summer of 2006, I shot a full-feature documentary (w/ Joey Redmond) about American drifting, traveling to 19 cities in 30 days across the nation. I completed editing the project in May 2007. “Slide America” is now available in retail stores nation-wide.

I am a 29 year old designer specializing in motion graphics, video editing, print design and web development. My BFA in Digital Multimedia from the Atlanta College of Art (RIP) fuels my passion for design, typography and my strict attenton to detail. I have been drifting at a professional level since 2005, and trying to help the sport mature through my participation, creativity, design, and most importantly style.  

The man himself.
