About
I am a mechanical engineer. Examples of the types of things I have designed are: medical equipment, weigh lifting equipment, Mining equipment, water treatment facilities, snowmobile parts, diesel pick-up truck parts, a full line of mountain bikes (that I was told K2 ended up buying the rights to), semi truck parts, and my favorite… car parts.
I currently drive a 350Z. I started to autocross back in 2000 with a Subaru Impreza RS in the STS class. I took rookie of the year that year and finished 4th (IIRC) in the region overall. The following couple years I did even better. Then I needed more of a challenge so I got rid of the Subaru and started co-driving other people’s cars and started a never-ending Hachi Roku turbo propane hi-comp project car. In the midst of this, I completed a project S13 CA18DET car. I kind of stopped autocrossing with the intention of going out to our state’s first real road course, Miller Motorsports Park. The types of racing I follow these days is: F1, Grand Am, DTM, BTCC, Speed Challenge, and a few others.
Then I got married in 2005. We had our first little boy in 2006. Now most of my efforts are spent trying to make their lives better rather than having quite as much fun for myself. It is so worth it every time I see my boy smile. No regrets at all. Besides, I still have my Xbox 360 to bring my spirits up from time to time. So when I am not with my family or working on car stuff, you can find me on Xbox live. Oh yeah, and now we have #2 kid in the oven.
