Factory National Team

Location:
Rome, NY USA

About Me:
My home racetrack is CRC Raceway in Rome, NY and I have been in the hobby since 2012. In 2014 I went “all in”, racing at least weekly in that timeframe since. In that time I have had the privilege to learn from some of the best on-road racers in the industry at CRC, while also working on my oval and off-road racing as well. I have always believed that practice and hard work always pay off and that there is something much more important than just getting the win in a given race. How you carry yourself and interact with people on and off the racetrack is what leaves the longest lasting impression. The most important part is to remember to have fun and be someone you’d want to pit with at the races!

About Me:
My professional career is IT. I work for CowRC as well as their Team Manager. I have a wife and a daughter.

Started racing RC cars in 1984 at Arizona Fast Track in Tucson AZ with a RC10, it was a bike ride away from where I grew up. I had 2 other rc’s before that, the Grasshopper and the Supper Champ. I’ve done it all from plains, helicopters and boats. Rc has always been in my life but not always racing.

2016 I discovered U4RC.com and Brian Jones. I became the manager assisting Brian over the first year of racing u4 and wanted to keep this style racing going even after it’s known hay days of Glen Helen, CA. I love scale RC cars and love to go fast. Crawlers are a blast but I want to go a little faster so U4 is what gives me that fix.

However, I do everything RC still to this day. You never know what I might be piloting with transmitter of some kind. My Local tracks are CTRC and Thunder Alley. This is where I put down some 1/8 buggy and truggy laps and races. NoPrep is hot and I really dig the cars. So this past year I have teamed up with Tyler Zavadil with RC Dragtalk and all his races. My goal with RC is to help other drivers new and old any way I can. I do not consider my self a ”Pro Level Driver” but I do promote RC with my experience. I have managed to take a few podiums in my time but nothing like a DNC or PNB. I’m your club racer. I dig the local crew and what I call the underground of RC, better known as the RC Bashers. I love me some monster truck doing back flips 20 plus feet in the air. Who doesn’t like to go full send? So that’s my deal with RC I have alywas had them and will never stop.

Enjoy the RC life.

About Me:
I started this great hobby many years ago, just as something to do to have a little fun. In 2015 I bought my first Race ready vehicle and took it to Hot Shots Raceway which was my my local track. From the second I touched the dirt I was hooked. The first year was a huge learning experience into the racing side of things. I’ve made some great friends in the process as well as steadily improving. Since starting racing I have worked extremely hard to better myself throughout the years. I do the very best that I can to help all of the guys there with their setups, tire choices and just general questions. I have helped them all improve as well. Also helping out when issues arise as I try and carry multiple spare parts, tires, batteries etc. My goal over the next year is to better myself in setups, get faster, and also continue to help others as best I can.

I try to travel to as many tracks as I can during the seasons gaining more friendships along the way. I plan to attend multiple bigger events through next year. I try to talk to all drivers to try and exchange tips on setups and expand my knowledge base. Being on the Tekin Team is big accomplishment.

About Me:
I have been racing for at least 20 years now, over two stints!! In the 90’s when I was young and R/C was a hobby I shared with my dad, back then tracks in the UK were mainly grass. Although we had some purpose built tracks starting to develop at the time, these consisted mainly of astro turf!!!

About Me:
After my failed attempt at flying model planes, I have enjoyed staying on the ground, racing various cars and trucks since 1988. I raced mainly at club level for most of of the time, but finally had opportunities to travel to larger events since 2017. I raced carpet and asphalt oval up until On-road racing hit our area in the late ’90s and have been running On-road ever since. Spent a couple years running Off-road truck and buggy, but On-road just kept calling me back.

Even more rewarding than the many laps run and races won over the years is the opportunity to share information and help others improve their own skills, both on and off the track. There’s just something great about seeing a fellow racer getting faster and having more fun as a result of the help and guidance I’m able to share. Proud to say that some of my most treasured friendships are a byproduct of this great hobby.

I’ve been racing with Tekin products for as long as I can remember and am honored to represent the brand wherever this hobby takes me.
