It truly has been a fun filled 5 years with the NEQ Club. The support and level of dedication I have observed from other NEQ’ers has been tremendous. I have been very fortunate to make numerous new friendships in this short time. I can honestly say that being a part of this club has been a joy in many ways. I enjoy absorbing the wealth of knowledge from the people that surround me and using my creativeness to expand on those ideas to help guide the club into the future. Everyone has their unique set of skills to offer. Having 2 businesses and 4 kids under 16 years old, I’m confident I can offer a distinctive plus effective contribution to the board if elected.

My first Audi was a 1987 Model 5000. For the past 3 years I have used a 2012 S5 V8 6MT as my dedicated HPDE car. I’m a car guy to the core. I grew up watching my dad maintain his own cars and have taken satisfaction in turning a wrench when needed on my own vehicles. I’m a graduate of the Skip Barber Racing School and have a full competition race license. I currently participate in SCCA racing events. At the last NEQ HPDE of the 2021 season in NJMP I was given the clearance to participate in the red run group. I can’t say enough about the level of professionalism and knowledge from all the instructors I have encountered. This puts me one step closer in my goal to one day become an instructor with NEQ.

Over the past year+ I have been involved with the Social Committee team. I was a part of the spearheading and successful execution of the 1st Annual NEQ Gathering of the Marques @ Limerock Park during the Labor Day Historic Festival. Recently, I was in a meeting with the Marketing Director for Weeks Automotive Group (Danbury Audi, Porsche, VW) where we were effective in securing their involvement in NEQ’s Dealership Partner Program, plus NEW future events. I have also taken the initiative in creating photo & video content for our Social Media platforms: YouTube, Facebook, NEQ Website. I am currently gathering substance to develop NEQ’s involvement with organizations such as: Audi Customer Support Racing, IMSA, F1, FCP Euro, Formula E.

My objective is to assist NEQ on continuing its forward evolution and to confidently contribute positive outcomes, fortifying a conduit for future NEQ members.

I am excited to be running for a third term on the NEQ Board of directors. For the six years I was on the Board of Directors, I have enjoyed working for the NEQ members and hope to continue working for NEQ in the future. Over the last fourteen years as an NEQ member, I have had the pleasure to get to know many of you.  For the last ten driving seasons, I have been intimately involved with the NEQ Instructor Program, working directly with Instructor Candidates and Mentors in developing new instructors for NEQ.

I have been tracking cars since 2007; NEQ is by far my favorite club.  Chief reason for this is the many friendships I have made and the special camaraderie that exists in our club.  I feel NEQ is unique among the driving clubs, largely because of the efforts, energy, care and attention many of the members, directors and officers put into the club.  NEQ is my family at the track.

In 2007, I began tracking my Audi S8.  Over the course of the next four years, I progressed from novice to instructor, to most recently working with the instructor program.  I love working and developing new instructors, and look forward to introducing more members to the instructor ranks.

Having benefitted so greatly over the last fourteen years from what the club has to offer, I once again welcome the opportunity to give something back to the club and its members.

It would be my absolute pleasure to serve on the board of NEQ and I hope you will bestow this honor upon me. I truly welcome the opportunity it represents.
