When and how did you get into drifting and/or other motor sports?
-I began doing autox with my miata in ’00, and when that got boring I started sliding around the layout. Eventually I got scolded for it and decided to start hosting my own events. Then ClubFr.net was formed and we are now in our 2nd year of events.

What was the first car you used for drifting?
-My current Miata, it’s actually the 1st car I have ever owned, I’ve had it since I was 17.

How did it work out for you?
-From local autox to FormulaD, it’s been working well so far.

What was your most practiced technique?
Clutch Kick

What is it now?
-Still is clutch kick, I like having the car do what I when I want. F*ck the clutch!

Where are you looking to improve?
-I need to go faster and I would like to become more familiar with layouts that include elevation changes and banks.

What types of events have you participated in?
-Chicago Miata club autox, ClubFR Drift Days, & Formula D

What type of events have you competed in?
-RS*R ’04 (1st place)
-Atlanta Formula D ’05 (driving for Protomotive/Circuit City in their NB Miata)
-Chicago Formula D ‘05

What do you find challenging?
-Following S chassis cars. Because the Miata isn’t able to obtain as much angle as the S chassis cars, I end up going faster and have to change my driving style on the fly. It’s fun and challenging.

Who are your influences?
-Tezuka Tsuyoshi of Freedom/Bee*R. Tezuka drives a JZX81 as well as the new Bee*R R32.4 in D1. I have always loved his style, full throttle and nothing but.

What modifications would you like to have in the future?
-Larger turbo with internal modifications to the engine, as well as more steering angle. I would also like to fully gut the car and reinforce the current cage.

What are your future plans in drifting?
-Continue to just have fun. The moment I take this all too serious will be the day I quit.

What are your thoughts on the future of drifting?
-As long as people have fun, I could care less on how mainstream this all becomes. The true drivers who are in it for the right reasons will continue to have fun, and those here to make a buck will soon fade away.

Anything else you would like us to know about you?
-Come on, I drive a damn girls car!!!!
