Born in California in 1989, My family raced in the supergas class of NHRA drag racing in the 7th division (pacific division), with friends such as Ed DeStaute (2001 world champion), Steve Gasparelli, and many others in the sportsman leagues. In 1995 we moved to texas, sold the racing operation due to lack of raceways, and started the country life. I can still remmeber the 600 mile journey from Los Angeles County to Cooke county, from the busy city life to the middle of almost nowhere, crossing 4 states and going through 5 hotels (including living in one for nearly a month). In 1996, we moved out to a rural area, where the community is 2 square miles and the population is under 400 people. In 2000, my dad bought me an off-road gocart, and we spent the following year and a half if not two years finding and fixing the weak links of it's origional design. The fixing finally ended 3 years ago, when we finally did a complete teardown and rebuild of it, making the frame a 1 piece welded unit rather than several bolted joints which would rattle loose from time to time. Of major modifications, the 318cc flathead single cylinder tecumseh engine had the governor and torque-a-vertor re-worked, new drive sprockets installed which were 3/8" think rather than the stock 1/4 inch, a straight pipe "zoomie" header installed (no muffler or spark arrestor), and the cylinder head milled 0.030 of an inch plus a DIY port and polish job. The front spindles were also upgraded to 5/8 inch diameter hardened number eight bolts and the frame was painted chrome orange.

I am an avid race fan, of several sports- drag racing, NASCAR/circle track, and more recently road course racing. I have attened better then 20 racing events in texas, countless more if you count the races in california in which we competed in. I had my first website on angelfire's free hosting service (owned by lycos) in 7th grade and owned "magnethead794.com" for the first time in 8th grade through a quickly-defunct 1 dollar hosting company. This was also when i first learned HTML. In school, I took BCIS (Business Computer Information Systems) in 8th grade, Webmastering in 9th grade, CMAT (Computer Multimedia and Animation) in 10th grade, Computer maintenance in 11th grade, and am currently in Computer Science this, my senior year. The Web/Tech Development part of this website will go into further detail of my computering skills. I have been accepted to the University of Texas at Arlington for college, and I intend on majoring in mechanical engineering. The AIRT (Artificial Intelligence Robotic Transporter) Project is my way of helping to build my engineering skills beyond what K'NEX (knex.com) allowed me to do. I have been a part of NT BEST (North Texas Boosting Engineering, Science, and Technology; ntbest.org, bestinc.org) since my sophmore year in high school, and was essentially the team leader the last two years. BEST gave me the ability to build AIRT through learning how robots and remote communication by radio works.
