Have your lap times hit a plateau? Not sure what is holding you back? Perhaps you have worked with another coach or instructor and only slowed down or became confused? I hear this from clients all the time.

I believe I bring a different approach to driver coaching than most and it shows with the success that my clients have had. My very diverse background in motorsports allows me to view and analyze many different perspectives that help for me to more quickly learn how to speak your language and therefore coach you efficiently. I would love to speak with you more about my approach and how I can help you achieve your goals. Feel free to call or email me at anytime.

Background:

32 year old Florida native and current resident of Atlanta.

I am currently the lead driver and coach for a 6 car team in Pirelli World Challenge among other driving, consulting, and development projects for other programs. What led to that was 20 years of hard work. After racing local level NASCAR type stock cars for many years as a child I went to a technical school for motorsports engineering, mechanics and fabrication and actually ended up working for several teams in NASCAR and professional sports car racing. Oddly enough it led me back to the driver seat when I somehow got an opportunity to test for a team in one of the pro junior formula ranks. As successful as that test was, the team folded shortly thereafter, but my eyes were open to a whole new world. Only few months later I was a scholarship recipient at the Jim Russell annual driver shootout, just as some very significant drivers have done before me. I would go on to get pole and race wins in each races I did in that championship and most importantly forged relationships that brought me into professional touring car racing. What I have done and accomplished since is a long list of projects I am all very proud of, including professional race wins, podiums and poles, 6 club racing national championships, an almost 9 year stint as a full time stunt driver for Walt Disney Worlds “Lights Motors Action Extreme Stunt Show”, Instructing for various schools, instructing educational and/or entertainment programs for some of the big OEM’s and marketing companies, and much more.
