Who is your favorite driver?
I was always a Ford fan, I really liked Jeff Burton when he was with Roush. Now I don't watch Nascar as much as I used too, so now I like to see the drivers with the least amount of funding and technology win.

When did you start Sim racing?
I starting racing in the late 90's with Nascar 2 and Nascar 3. I started racing in a league that folded shortly after I got there, then 5 of us got together and formed a new league called weraceonline.com in the late 90's. After closing up in 99, I joined the American Sim Racing League where I have raced for 12 years before leaving and coming to 30 Plus and another league I run in late in 2010/early 2011.

What got you into Sim racing?
I have been around dirt racing all of my life in eastern pa and I was a computer science major in college. I guess the two meshed and I saw the opportunity to compete racing and have been loving it ever since. My cousin and I started racing together online and we have been racing online ever since.

Most memorable moment in Sim racing?
In 2004 I decided to run for championship points in our cup series which averaged 30 drivers a week and I had a competitor named Rick who was just dominant every week. We traded wins a couple of times and the last race of the season I edged him and won the championship by a point. A huge trophy was delivered to my house personally by the league president. I was my 5th championship I have won and the most rewarding which is why I really do not run for points anymore. That trophy I still have and it sits behind my bar.

Where are you from?
I was born and raised in Nazareth Pennsylvania, home of the old Busch Series/Indy series Nazareth Track that was a big dirt track before it was purchased by Penske. Lived in what I consider my second home in the states which is Charleston S.C. for about 7 years while I was in the military. My family moved to the United States from Western Germany before I was born and I currently race once in a while with my cousin but he is in a different time zone and all about the road courses and IRacing . I currently live 15 miles North of Philadelphia.
