I was born and raised in El Paso, TX with a brief time living in South Carolina when I was younger.  I graduated from Hanks HS in 1992 and decided not to pursue a college education.  I decided to become a more hands on learn as I go person and I don't regret it for one minute.  I am not married nor do I have human children (car and truck get upset when I don't call them my children).  Family has been a great thing in my life and my uncles were the ones who got me started in cars. I can remember being under the hood of my uncles 57 chevy and my other uncles 71 Camaro. Drag racing really became a big part of my life back in 1996 with my big block Chevelle and then I started racing my daily driver a 91 mustang lx 5.0. Pretty soon afterwords the mustang became faster than the Chevelle and the rest is history. It took me a year to get involved in auto x with motivation from Bud Jeffries but one ride in Phil Becker's Corvette got me to sign up the following event. The people I have met have taught me a lot and I hope I can contribute to making the local SCCA chapter a larger club and introduce more people to this great sport.
