I started 2013 with only one goal and in mind and that was to compete for the full season and finish in the upper half of my class. Having unknowingly built a car that placed me in the most competitive class in my rookie season, I didn't have high expectations for this year. The beginning of the year was tough. It took a while to get the car dialed in, but once I did, things finally came together. I found myself ahead of drivers I thought I wouldn't be able to touch without a couple seasons of experience. I gave my full dedication to competing and it really paid off. I found myself among the top drivers and through consistency was able to bring home first place for the season in the CRS Championship. I also managed to make a trophy position in the Porterfield Rallycross Championship, win the SCCA Northern Pacific National Challenge, and the Santa Rosa Formula RallyX. I even managed to get some awards for co-driving with my good friend Ray Piloto. Together, Ray and I were nominated as the Most Inspirational Team in the Southwest Rally Series. With plans to step it up to stage rally in 2014, I can't wait to see where this takes me! I just want to leave you all with these few words: if you give something all that you've got and believe in yourself, you can accomplish great things.
