Michigan Region Competition Updates
Happy New Year to all my Michigan Region NCCC friends and family! I want to take this opportunity to introduce myself along with sharing some of my thoughts and goals for my upcoming term as your RCD in my first competition update.
Let me start by saying that I am looking forward to the opportunity to serve as your RCD! If I think back on what has led me to writing this introduction, it’s hard to point to a single moment. Those who know me know that my life has always been consumed by going fast. I’ve been involved in motorsports for as long as I can remember—riding dirtbikes and snowmobiles, exploring trails on ATVs, and eventually diving into drag racing, road racing, and autocross. If it has wheels and a motor, chances are I’ve strapped myself in it, tried it, and pushed it to its limits.
Owning my 2003 Z06 brought me into the NCCC community in 2022, but it was the people, the energy, and the shared passion of “America’s Sports Car”, the Michigan Region and my experiences in 2023 chasing a national top 15 finish, that made me want to stay and get more involved. Over the last 4 years, I’ve found myself helping wherever I could—working events, setting up and tearing down autocross courses, managing events and just generally trying to do my part to keep things running smoothly. Somewhere along the way, I realized how much I cared about the competition program and the community behind it. I’ve had the pleasure of representing Calhoun County Corvettes as the Competition Representative for the last 2 years, which further introduced me to behind the scenes work and activity at the regional level.
As I step into this new role, I’m incredibly grateful for the support of my wife Kathryn and our four kids, Aly, Hailey, Lucas and Myles. They’ve been with me through long weekends, late nights, and countless miles, always cheering me on. I enjoyed cheering Kathryn on as she earned the Michigan Region Ladies Speed Rookie of the Year title in 2024 and I’m especially excited for the day my kids get to participate in FCOA activities and experience the same sense of community and excitement that drew me in.
As we look forward, my goals for 2026 are simple but meaningful. I want to strengthen communication across the region, support fair and consistent event operations, encourage participation in all trails, and help create an environment where both new and seasoned competitors feel welcome. The Michigan Region has a strong foundation, and I’m committed to building it further as we introduce several new competition programs this year!
I look forward to seeing you all at the Michigan Region Awards Banquet on March 28th where we will celebrate the 2025 season, our region champions and officially kick off the 2026 competition season! Until then, enjoy the remainder of the holiday season, and be on the lookout for additional updates on new ways to get involved AND compete in the region!
