Team: Hendrick Motorsports
Console: PS4
How much has gaming expanded or added to your interest in NASCAR?

Why do you prefer using PlayStation 4?
“I chose PS4 because other games like MLB The Show and Gran Turismo are Playstation only. I’ve owned both Playstation and Xbox. Some games are dependent to certain consoles.”
What made you decide to try out for the eNASCAR Heat Pro League?
“I believed I could compete with the best. I just started playing the game in December, so I knew my lack of experience was going to make it tough. I raced in online leagues when I was a teenager. I loved the intensity. It’s the closest I could get to actual racing. Add to that the opportunity to be a part of a NASCAR team, it’s honestly everybody’s dream.”

Any other interesting facts you’d like to share about yourself?
“I have one brother who lives down in Virginia. He is in the Navy. I’m a tax supervisor at a CPA firm and have had my CPA license since 2015.
