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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

Forgotten Track

Was at a small track for a drifting event, spotted this long unused portion while cooling off. Wonder how many races this has seen?

Dirt for Spectators

I don't fully recall where this turn was, but I do remember smiling as we tore through it. Thanks to Mele Media for the photo!
