About Me

I'm *trying to* learn how to earn a 6 figure salary to support my car/racing addiction. So until then, it'll be ramen and rice. On the side, I'm a writer for Nissan Performance Magazine , as Project Racer where I share my experiences on my path to competetive road racing.
I'm currently competing in my first season, racing SE-R Cup with the National Auto Sport Association (NASA) this '06 season, an accomplishment that I'm very excited about.
