Peace behind the wheel
You get the point. Racing is a sport where price tags can determine success and winning pays in different forms of denominations. But why do it? Why spend that kind of money for a purse that size? The answer is different for each driver. For one local driver, the answer is significantly different.

Do you believe in second chances? I didn't, but now I do. I am living in the midst of my second chance at life and am chasing my childhood dream: to work in the NFL. You see, I died a couple years back. If you can come back from that, you can do anything. So, I did.

I enrolled in Wright State to finish my degree in Mass Communications/Media Studies. I finished my degree in July of 2016 and am in pursuit of a role in the world of professional football. Not as a player but as a scout. Eventually, I would like to cover the sport a la the great Peter King (themmqb.com), but to do so in the way that I feel is best, I need to get in there and experience life behind the shield.
