I was at Wayne County Speedway before they had the stands built. I was in an infant carseat, and when the first heat race started, I leaned forward to see what all the noise was and the whole thing flipped forward and down the hill I went on my forehead. There was no hope after that.

I grew up at Wayne County and Barberton, sometimes visiting the other area tracks. Before I got married I ran street stocks and had some success. Now I'm back to just watching (and now, writing).

I've worked at 16 different race tracks, in either fire/rescue, or EMS. I'm also the director of the longest running internet racing series. I enjoy almost any form of racing, but dirt track is where my heart is. I look forward to meeting more people and seeing more races, and reporting it all to the fans.
