When and how did you get into drifting and/or other motor sports?
I have always loved fooling around on the back country roads of Louisiana. So once I moved up into the Northern Virginia area I learned of the sport of drifting and decided to pursue it.

What was the first car you used for drifting?
My 1996 240SX.

How did it work out for you?
Awesome. Before I got mine my sister had a brand new 95 240SX that I really enjoyed driving. When the time came to get my new car I pursued a Red 96.

What was your most practiced technique?
Power Over

What is it now?
I really love the Feint.

Where are you looking to improve?
Stop crashing into Stuff.

What types of events have you participated in?
Mostly local US drift events.

What type of events have you competed in?
Mostly US DRIFT competitions. Hopefully I will be able to drive in Formula D in 2006.

What do you find challenging?
I really love the banked course at ODS. I have nailed it a couple times, but, never in a competition.

Who are your influences?
Ryan Fife, The only thing he wants in life is to drive sideways. He will go to any length to make it to events, even if it means him driving 450 miles on a suspended license.

What modifications would you like to have in the future?
As of now I could use a little bit more power.

What are your future plans in drifting?
I would really love to participate in a D1 event someday.

What are your thoughts on the future of drifting?
I hope it continues to grow allowing more drivers to participate in bigger mainstream events

Anything else you would like us to know about you?
I sometimes get really angry for no reason and I take it all out on my cat. Poor little kitty*


















*disclaimer- I really don’t beat my cat*

You better not crash into anything this weekend. good luck out there bud.

Aww johnathan i never knew you felt that way about me

unfortunately my over eagerness to compete evetually got me more trouble so i keep it legal now and hopefully i will have my current build out there shortly.
