About Me

I moved to the Atlanta area from Greenville SC about 3 years ago. I have been working in the racing industry for about 20 years. I am currently Team Manager for J3 Racing based in Buford, GA. We have been racing in the American LeMans Series although this year it looks like we wont be racing much. I am married and have two of the best kids around(OK so I am biased). I have worked in a lot of different industries but I can't seem to stay away from the racing thing. It seems to be like traveling with the circus sometimes! I enjoy all kinds of activities including scuba diving, racing cars, golf, riding bikes, and most anything else you can think of. I have at least tried all of the sports, I even tried hang gliding. Crashed that one! Now the kids try to kill me. Those little people have way too much energy plus their batteries recharge quicker! Last August I started a serious diet and working out, so far that seems to be working for me. I have dropped 45lbs so far and I am starting to shape up a bit. It helps when you can look in the mirror and see results.

My Interests

I love being at the beach, swimming, building sand castles with my kids, having a few beverages early in the day. Other things I really enjoy are Auto Racing, Endurance Road Racing is the best. Football, Alabama Football...ROLL TIDE. Music, I can't live without it! I would like to find a few people to take in a show or two. Baseball. Airplanes of all kinds.
