About me and my passion for cars

I started messing with cars when I was 9-10 years old, and haven't stopped. I have worked as an auto tech for the last 21 years. During race season, the people who know me know that on Friday nights I'm at the dragstrip. Sometimes my wife and I hit the local cruises and shows as well.

My first car

My first car was a 1970 Mustang Coupe that I bought from my grandpa. White on red, 302, C-4, 8" combo that I started building when I was 13. Nice car. It was stolen when I was 19 and never recovered.

Car I wish I still had

My Mustang, of course. Otherwise a 1963 Fairlane Sport Coupe I sold in 1999. True mechanical cam, dual point, 4 barrel car. Rare but rough.

My dream car

1934 Ford coupe.

Car clubs I’m in

I am the founder of Roadkill Racing, a club that currently has 11 members. We race as a team at Bandimere Speedway in Golden Colorado. Bandimere hosts a race series called Club Clash that we compete in.
