A race podium with spots for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd positions. It's adorned by a large black gate that says 'American Rally Championship'. Sponsor logos can be seen all around. The competitors on the podium are smiling and showing off their trophies. — 2nd in L2WD at Lake Superior Performance Rally 2025!
First podium in ARA Nationals! It's been a year of ups and downs for sure, but finishing it out with this feels great. Lot of things had to go right for this to happen, but here's hoping to even better performances in 2026. Massive thanks to my co-driver for this event, Michael Hordijk - helped me get through some important issues after the crash at Southern Ohio earlier this year. The team at River City Rally also builds an amazing car! Big congrats to Henry Tabor and Dylan Hooker on 1st place, and to Nick and David Tippman on 3rd! Fantastic competitors who were a blast to race against. Finally, thanks to MeLe Media for the photo - they seem to know how to be in the right place at the right time.

A white Lexus IS250 racing down a forest road. The leaves and trees are in full color change mode, a sea of orange and yellow. The road is gravel and slightly damp. — The Most Beautiful Rally
Jaw dropping fall foliage. Getting the chance to drive these roads was something else! Several points throughout the rally I found myself having to remind myself to focus because it was legitimately distracting. Big thanks to Mele Media for the photo!

Me standing exhausted after finishing a race. I’m holding a black trophy for 2nd place. My mechanic stands next to me. — Exhausted, but: mission accomplished
Been chasing the National podium for a year now. Started off just missing it, then rolled a car off a cliff, then an engine failure leading to a DNF. Was starting to think it couldn’t happen this year. LSPR wound up going in my favor though! We managed to put in a reliable drive through tricky conditions, and the team (mechanic pictured with me here) built a hell of a car. Tanked more than I thought possible. Here’s to next year!

A bright red lighthouse set against a grey sky. Stone steps lead up to it lined by a red banister. — Marquette Harbor Lighthouse
Fun fact: this originally wasn’t red! It got painted much later on. There’s another lighthouse 42 miles or so north; these two are seemingly the most remote lighthouses in the USA.

Me sitting in a race car cockpit. My visor on my helmet is up as I do final checks. — Paddock Check
Moments before heading out on to the track. Final check with the crew and engineers. Getting to drive this track is beyond my wildest dreams. Thanks to my good friend Tomo Goshozono for the photo!

A coffee shop in a blue building in an alleyway in Japan. The alleyway has various bicycles and cars throughout. Laundry can be seen hanging from a balcony as it dries. — Oz Coffee Shop
On the way to a motorsports store to buy an emergency replacement helmet, I stumbled on this coffee shop and decided to try it out. Great coffee - and allergy friendly desserts if you’re the kind to partake.

Red and yellow Ferraris are driving down a race track. The grandstands on the right are filled with people. The city looms in the distance. — Singapore GP: Driver Parade
The lead up to the Grand Prix. By this point I am absolutely drenched in sweat, but we had a great view and the energy of the crowd was great.

A white rally car racing through the woods at high speed. A red tape barrier is visible in the trees in the background. — Overmountain Rally 2025
Not quite the return to rally that I wanted; DNF on the first full day of stages was no fun. At least we got to try out some new pace note techniques from OzRallyPro, and the event itself was a blast to see - very well run! On to Lake Superior next. Thanks to MeLe Media for the photo!

An orange glow floods the far reaches of the ocean. Waves settle on the beach as the clouds split into multiple colors. — OBX Sunrise
Forced myself out of bed to catch the sunrise on the Outer Banks. Even with adjustments to the photo, it’s hard to capture how stunning the view was.

The sun begins to rise over the ocean. A small wave is coming up over the surf. — Peeking Sun
Forced myself out of bed to catch the sunrise. Did not disappoint.

A black and white striped lighthouse at sunset. A white picket fence sits at the bottom. — Bodie Island Lighthouse
Caught this at sunset. The lighthouses on the Outer Banks are always stunning to see in person - such a cool bit of history.

An old white lighthouse rises in to clear blue skies. There’s a window visible on the front. — My White Whale
When I’d visit here as a kid, the interior was always closed off to the public. In the last year or so they apparently finally opened up the base. Was cool to finally see inside! The Ocracoke Island lighthouse is the second oldest lighthouse in the country. Neat bit of history.
