My first ever drift event was at the Marina airport in 2007. I had a stock S13 that I had owned for 3 days. I started drifting as a method to learn car control to apply on the race track. I coach with an emphasis on base car dynamics. I like to keep away from diving into clutch kicks and hand brake pulls and instead focus on car balance and weight transfer. My favorite part of a drift event is watching drivers progress throughout the day. I enjoy giving tips and pointers to driver of all levels. Also I love the energy of running tandem trains!

You can catch me running the registration table at our events! I’m the newest driver on the DriftSF team. I got involved in DriftSF through running the organizational side of our events, our social media, and (sometimes) photography. After spending a few years as a chronic passenger, I started driving in July of 2020. These days, my passion is making sure no one else spends too long in the passenger seat because they’re afraid they might fail.
