        Biography

        Developing an interest in cars and racing at an early age it was not until I reached 18 that I started karting. Initially at Buckmore park, back when it was just 600 metres. 35 years later I still like to jump in a kart when I can.
        In 2002 I took up club level superbike racing at various circuits around Europe, such as Rijeka, Hockenheim and Magione. Self employment forced me to behave for a while, but the itch to race wouldn't go away. I started out gaining some instructor qualifications in 2018 and on my car racing career in 2019. I have now turned my love for racing into my full time job!
