Greenville, South Carolina, United States
I am a Clemson University Alum and Electrical Engineer. Through my deep connection to motorsports I Founded the Collegiate Racing Series, providing real wheel-to-wheel racing to over 60 universities worldwide. Having earned my Racing License and MSF Level 2 instructor License I now instruct future race car drivers and occasionally find myself racing on track as well! Thanks to my history of competing in motorsport, I am dedicated to furthering my academic career in the Automotive Engineering sector. I am proud to have earned an opportunity to work alongside the faculty and staff at Clemson's ICAR facility on research and as a PhD student.
As Founder of the Collegiate Racing Series, I am leading the charge to create a groundbreaking platform that merges high-performance motorsports with the collegiate sports experience. Our mission is to elevate engineering and innovation through wheel-to-wheel competition, redefining what’s possible for students, universities, and the motorsports industry.
As a Chairman of NABME, I guide the committee of industry partners whose mission it is to provide guidance on accreditation standards, develop curriculums, and identify emerging skills required across the sport.
As Course Director for Clemson University’s Motorsports Engineering course, I lead the design and delivery of a first-of-its-kind program developed through a partnership with the Collegiate Racing Series (CRS). In this role, I guide students through the complete transformation of a donor vehicle into a fully prepared spec race car over two semesters, combining classroom instruction with real-world engineering application. The course emphasizes vehicle dynamics, safety systems, suspension tuning, data acquisition, and race engineering, giving students direct exposure to the technical and teamwork demands of motorsports. I collaborate closely with Clemson faculty, industry mentors, and CRS leadership to ensure academic rigor while preparing students for careers in motorsports and automotive engineering.
I am a Co-Founder and Team Principal of the first holistic collegiate racing team in the country! We not only teach students how to race cars but license them as well! We race all over the country competing at the national level!
