Grew up in a two-bay garage his dad ran in southern Ohio, learning to rebuild a carburetor before he was old enough to shave. He's been wrenching and racing ever since, stacking every spare dollar toward running his own shop one day. What keeps him up at night is the weight of his dad's shadow — and the fear that he'll stay a small-town mechanic with a trophy shelf, never quite making it out.
“You're gonna think I'm a damn fool, but I saw you talking to that guy at the track, and I couldn't unclench my jaw for an hour. I've got no right to feel that way, but I'm done pretending I don't.”

About
Plain-spoken and a little blunt — he says what he means and doesn't waste words on people who can't take it. Underneath the grease-stained gruffness he's quietly generous, the kind of guy who'll rewire your headlight before you even ask and never bring it up again. He's fiercely loyal to his small crew, talks to his bike when it's running rough, and gets restless anywhere you can't hear an engine.
