Motorsports, travel, and random photos from around the world. Rally driver, car #91 in ARA National L2WD. Life is too short to just sit around and wait.

Windy LSPR roads

Big thanks to MeLe Media for the photo! Pretty sure this was on day 2 where we started remembering how to go fast. Just gotta dial it in for 2026...

A white Lexus IS250 coming around a right-hand dirt turn. There's a clean swept line, and the Lexus is clearly not on it. People can be seen in between the trees in the background.

Get on the line you idiot

True pain is looking at this photo and knowing you could've had a better line. Thanks to MeLe Media for the photo!

A Lexus IS250, mid-slide

Day 2 of Lake Superior Performance Rally 2025. Day 1... wasn't so great, but we had identified a few spots where there was low hanging fruit to clean up. By now we were at least starting to move clean again!

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.

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!

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!
