Hobbies include wood working/wood turning, music writing and recording, Sea Kayaking, photography and obviously my latest is Iracing. I started i-racing in June of 2020 as something to do during the COVID crisis while on a one year assignment at Hanford, and really got hooked. I happened upon OBRL in September 2020 and have really enjoyed making friends with all the drivers.

I don’t talk much while driving because of my inability to talk and drive without hitting something, but enjoy the comradery and listening. I am still in discovery phase and have an enormous amount to learn. While I have been to a few NASCAR races I did not understand it or try to, so now I am learning from scratch.
