Day Job: I'm the Plant Manager at the Briggs & Stratton Plant in Poplar Bluff. We produce roughly 3.4 million Quantum engines at the plant a year with over 1,100 employees. We are one of the largest employers in Southeast Missouri and are the best engine manufacturers in the world! I'm blessed to work with a great group of people at the plant, many of whom support our racing efforts.
Comments: I love racing - love to build and work on the car and love to drive it. We race every Saturday night at the Poplar Bluff Speedway and when we can at the Malden Speedway. We had a rough but educational first year last year and showed signs of promise in the last couple of weekends at a couple of 3 night events with tough competition. We are expecting big results this year! We plan to contend for a points championship this year at the Poplar Bluff Speedway and run all we can at Malden. We're looking at running a couple of big shows this year and more next year. We have the drive and competitive nature to do big things in racing and look forward to advancing to the next level!
