When and how did you get into drifting and/or other motor sports?
When I got my license, chillin’ with Brian W. from MA-Motorsports way back in the day, rockin’ the FF

What was the first car you used for drifting?
My old 1991 s13 coupe...sniff sniff

How did it work out for you?
I thought it was the greatest car in the world at the time

What was your most practiced technique?
Probably the Power-Over, feinting

What is it now?
Shift-Lock, Trail Braking, etc...

Where are you looking to improve?
My driving as a whole, I would love to become a lot cleaner, faster, and consistent

What types of events have you participated in?
US Drift at ODS, DGTrials DOW/DOF, Falken Tire Drift Showoff, US Drift Hyperfest, and most Lookout Drift events

What type of events have you competed in?
Falken Tire Drift Showoff in DC

What do you find challenging?
Paying my bills and trying to build my car at the same time. Saving $, trying to buy a beater car, most of the cone courses because they confuse the hell outta me, trying to keep up with my friends driving abilities, etc...

Who are your influences?
Those crazy dudes from Option videos...definitely Matt Martin, Brian W., Ray Shake, JR, the Lookout crew, Naked Girl Avalanche, and especially my woman

What modifications would you like to have in the future?
a better turbo and fuel setup. hopefully another set of wheels to slide around on, maybe some cams and valvesprings...mmmm that would be nice, and an ATS 2 way... maybe soon a widebody Silvia face and some fresh paint...that would be awesome!

What are your future plans in drifting?
To get better, learn a lot more, meet a lot more cool ppl, travel, and have a great time

Your thoughts on the future of drifting?
I think that it's only gonna keep getting bigger. Already, it has come so far within the last few years...you see signs of it everywhere. kinda sucks that it is so popular all of the sudden...I mean it is cool in a way, but it has already "sold out" sort of. I would hate to see it become even more and more "corporate" and less about the grassroots aspect of it, which is basically how most of us came about. I do have to say that I think NASCRAP has some new competition

Anything else you would like us to know about you?
I am a pretty personable guy, I love rock n roll, hot women, tattoos, hot women w/ tattoos, I got a foul mouth, and a great sense of humor...otherwise I basically hate most other stuff
