Professional Precision Driver & Instructor

Mastering the art of control and performance

About Me

I started my professional driving journey in 2017 with a 2006 Porsche 911. After driving autocross, trackcross, and driver's education track events, I found the part I loved the most was skid pad. I gave up track sessions to spend at skid pad. I snuck down to skid pad during lunch time, whenever someone forgot or just didn't want to go for their session of skid pad, or whenever I could cajole a few extra laps even in a packed session.

The practice paid off and in 2022, I became a National Instructor for Porsche Club of North America.

From there, I founded a car control clinic company that focused on developing skid pad skills, especially for drivers who wanted more control at organized driving events. Even after selling the company, I lost count of how many drivers who came up to tell me how their newfound skillset saved them from potential injury or damage to their car.

In 2023, I was approached to do the stunt driving for a series of Toyota commercials that involved a Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro, Toyota Camry TRD Pro, and Toyota Rav4 hybrid. That set the stage to scratch a growing itch to do more precision driving and stunt driving.
