| Background: |
In the late 70's I began doing service work on electronic control systems and by the early 80's I was doing this along with minor engineering professionally. In my early high school years I tuned turbo charging systems for local drag racers. After graduating high school I began my true pursuit for an engineering degree. Throughout college and even thereafter I fully devoted myself to my education through both classwork and extracurricular activities. In college I began my formal education about engines and their processes, although I had long since mastered assembly and various performance improvement techniques. This formal education is what fostered the passion that I still have today for engines, performance, and racing. |
| Personal Accomplishments: |
In 5th grade I built an electric motor out of common household items. This earned me my first blue ribbon at a science fair.
In 7th grade I successfully rebuilt a two stroke engine from scratch for the first time without adult contribution or guidance.
In 11th grade I restored a 1948 C.J. Willys Jeep, this was my first complete restoration.
In 1992 I built a Shelby Cobra replica from the ground up including customizing and transplanting a complete fuel injection system into the car.
In 1994 I worked as a student advisor on the University of Pennsylvania's solar powered car project. We built a winning competition solar powered car from the ground up.
In 2000 I successfully designed, built, and raced the very first RS125 stroker motor for a micro.
In 2001 I developed the very first electronic alcohol fuel injection conversion system for a 600cc micro sprint. That system, while very different from our current EFI systems, is still being produced and sold by another EFI system manufacturer. |
| Goals: |
My only goal in this business is to better the sport. I enjoy every aspect of racing and I am committed to fostering growth within the racing community. |
