BIOGRAPHY

Hello all! I was born in Southern California in the mid-1990s and currently I live in Illinois.

Growing up it were mainly my father (John) and my grandfather (Bob) who fueled my love for auto racing, though I did do a lot of researching and learning on my own (as every other young race fan does). Being a kid in the heyday of NASCAR's mainstream success I am very fond of oval racing and I would say that is what I know best.

With that being said, I look forward to the expansion of our open wheel racing operation and as always, I expect to be competitive and win.

It has always been a dream of mine to race cars professionally, but due to the extreme cost it takes to actually do that, I have not yet had the chance. The same could be said for my father, and that is where iRacing and the WMG came in.

We are excited to have this opportunity to compete and advance through iRacing's levels and series.

I would like to give a tremendous amount of gratitude to the Avery Huffman Defeat DIPG Foundation for the wonderful support that they offer the Watkins Motorsports Group and the great work that they do in the fight against childhood cancer.

I am extremely excited to get this 2018 season underway with the Indy Elite Series as well as our fourth effort in the iRacing Indianapolis 500 this May. We hope you are along for the ride.
