I am 32 years old. Born in Dallas, Texas.
Raised in Independence, Iowa. Currently lives in Newton, Iowa.
I am married to Paula for the last 15 years, and together we have 3 boys. Nick-13, Sky-7, and Mikey-5.
Manny's oldest son, Nick has been helping in the pit crew getting hands-on experience. The other two boys sit in the stands and root dad on.
I have been part of pit crews for other racing teams.
But, this year....I decided to take the wheel and try my hand in the figure 8 circuit.
My first year in figure 8 was very eventful and exciting, some good times and some bad. I'd like to thank the experienced drivers for their patience and valuable pointers.
I hope to make my second year better and also to see some familiar and some new faces as well.
For the year 2003 I would like to try Adel and Indianola.
Special thank you for car #21 Donnie Sutton for sponsoring me this year and including me in the team.
This season would not be possible for me if it wasn't for my wonderful wife Paula, Nick, Shawn, and Jim.
For the endless hours of work they spent on the car during the off season getting it ready for this season.
Words can not express the graditude. Thank you all. .
