About the coach
After 15 years of racing, I've achieved multiple Championship Titles across the car racing and go-karting scene. After winning championships and being a top competitor in US karting, I made the move to Europe to represent the USA and Compkart. In my final years of karting, I drove for the Kart Republic Factory Team competing in the FIA Championships. My role as a factory driver is what really started my coaching career as I would assist in the skill development of our younger drivers. Since then, I've made the transition to open-wheel racing as I now race USF2000 in pursuit of Indycar. It's been a successful transition claiming the 2021 US F1600 Championship along the way. I've had the opportunity to coach various junior formula teams, karting teams, racing schools, and 1 on 1 coaching with all skill-level weekend racers. As a coach, I try to be enthusiastic and positive yet detail-oriented. I enjoy going over data as I typically find it to be valuable reinforcement to video and it's very specific which is beneficial when looking for small time margins. I find my coaching style usually can adapt to most skill levels.
