Racing in multiple series and coaching others has made 2024 an incredible year of growth and achievement. Competing in the Whelen Engineering Mazda MX-5 Cup proved highly competitive, with multiple victories and pole positions secured. Despite leading the championship mid-season, external circumstances and technical issues at VIR ultimately led to a close finish in the title battle.

This year marked a full commitment to motorsport, both as a professional driver and coach. A highlight was serving as race director for the Turn 2 Club's MX-5 Cup Series, helping develop talented drivers in a competitive environment that closely mimicked professional racing.

Expanding into Porsche competition brought unexpected success. Competing in the Sprint Challenge by Yokohama and Endurance Challenge North America at Road America yielded multiple podiums, while the Sonoma round delivered victories in both sprint and endurance events. Though one sprint win was later removed due to a restart violation, the overall performance demonstrated strong potential in the 992 GT3 Cup car.

The season concludes with the final round of Porsche Endurance Challenge North America at Circuit of The Americas, driving for JTR team in their championship pursuit. Recent success in Porsche competition has created new opportunities within the racing community, setting the stage for future endeavors.

The past few months have brought unprecedented learning and development, establishing a strong foundation for continued growth in professional motorsport.
