Tires - The year is 1995 and my dad had taken me to my first CART race, The Long Beach Grand Prix. My favorite driver Gil De Ferran (mostly because he shared my grandfathers first name, Gil) is taken out by Paul Tracy in turn 1. I loved car racing before, but the smells and sounds in person solidified my passion for racing. Fast forward 10 years to finish on the podium 4 times in Bridgestone's F2000 racing series, then working in Fomula Atlantics. Now a full time racing instructor, five times to The 25 Hours of Thunderhill and a whole lot of karting along the way, if it has 4 tires (sometimes less) I'm in.

Triggers - The year is 1998 and I've been engrossed with Tom Clancy's Rainbow SIx on PC. Noticing the book on my grandfathers shelf, he expressed his enjoyment of the type of story telling and since then I've been a fan of anything Tom Clancy. I served 8 years in the Army National Guard, embraced the suck, did some cool shit, never saw combat but I pulled a whole lot of triggers!
