moreI started my career in competitive racing BMX bikes as a young kid. Not until he realized that motorized vehicles could push him to the limit attending local auto-x events in the Indiana region Mike would find his love for going as fast as he can. The involvement with the NASA HPDE Midwest/Great Lakes region would plant the seed to Mike attending Drift Indy events in 2006 where he would drive anything Mazda sideways as fast as he can around the course while holding as much angle as possible.
Traveling to diffrent events and seeing friends compete in 2009 at D1 Grand Prix in Chicago Mike made a decision that he wanted to compete with some of the best drivers around the World of drifting. This journey would begin after his 2010 Midwest Drift Union ProAM Championship granting Mike a Formula D Pro license. Mike would place top32 at his first rookie apparence at Formula D Long Beach in 2011.
