SHORT BIOGRAPHY: I started off doing motocross when I was young and was always keen to give any motorsport a try. When I met Adam and the rest of the WSR crew, they had heard about drifting and from then on we decided to go out to the Manfeild track and give it ago. I then got hooked and was always keen to go to the open days at various tracks. I started to drift in my R33 skyline but it got to expensive to keep drifting so I sold it and got a R32, and over the years slowly modifyed it to what it is today. I got into the spray painting industry when I was 16, and really enjoyed it. Over the years I have ended up painting my cars, mates cars and even my dads transporting companies trucks which is a mish! My success in painting cars has enabled me to open up my own business down here in New Plymouth . Drifting has been a challenging and awesome sport to be apart of and I keep getting better and better each round, i'm looking forward to a first placing one of these days.
