How Did You Get Involved With Sudden Impact Racing?
I actually started with one of the original Sudden Impact trucks 7 years ago, but then moved to Andy Slifko's team. Thru that I got to know the owner of the new SIR team Brandon Lagarde. We saw each other at different shows and visited on the the phone about the business. From that the rest is history as they say.

What Did You Do Before Monster Trucks? Carpenter by trade

How Did You Get Involved With Monster Trucks? I would major involvement was with Andy Slifko's monster truck team. I started traveling with them from the beginning. Andy and his son were great to be around. I got to learn a lot about the mechanics of the trucks and the driving of them. I had been with Andy long enough that when he built his second truck Backdraft It just was a natural choice. I must say without Andy's help I don’t know if would be living a dream like this today.

Have You Driven Any other Monster Trucks? Obsesson, Backdraft, Eradicator, Sudden Impact, and T-Maxx

Wildest Ride- They are all wild rides in a Sudden Impact Racing truck!

Most Memorable Race/Freestyle- One of my first times driving I got to go against Dennis Anderson in San Antonio TX., It was Amazing to be racing with one of my heroes in front all those people

Favorite Competitor To Go Racing With- They are all great to race with. Each driver and team has their own personality. But I would say Alex Blackwell And Andy Slifko because of how close of friends we are.

Achievements- Win the Phoenix show In Sept 06. Also being able to make the final round at every show I've driven for the SIR team

Favorite Place to Race- Bangor, ME, Long story

Goals For the Upcoming Racing Season- To win every show I can for Sudden Impact Racing without destroying the trucks
