Claim to Fame:
Raced shifterkarts professionally with multiple regional wins, and multiple top ten finishes at the international level in the early 2000's.

Online Racing Background:
Bought Forza 2 when it came out and the addiction started. I was happy to finally have a racing game accurate enough for me to apply my real world racing skills successfully. I had every version of Forza through Forza 5, and stalked the online lobbies as a lone wolf under the gamer tag "GRTfast".
I found the PTG guys when I got Project Cars, and they were gracious enough to accept my application as a racer/tester/tuner.
Real Life:
I live in central Florida with my long time girlfriend Rachel. I have two kids from a former marriage (Riley and Cypress, 18 and 15). I work as a mechanical engineer in a Research and Development group at Siemens Energy.
I also am an experienced fabricator and machinist. I built my own rat rod style hot rod from scratch. It's been on the road for a few months now.
