What  We’re  About

I spent years trudging along in a difficult and unfulfilling career. A career chosen based on a belief that it would be a means to the ultimate goal of financial security and comfortable retirement.  After a few decades pursuing this path and doing everything I was told would lead me to this “American Dream” I came to the realization it was all a cruel deception. I decided to stop listening to the clock of my life tick away while I waited on the sidelines.

We sold our house in the city, moved to a smaller, more laid-back place, and started participating in life! I always wanted to Scuba dive, so I started diving; I love being outdoors, so I started hiking and traveling in a motorhome. As I reconnected with my life, a childhood dream returned, I wanted to be a racecar driver, so I got my SCCA & NASA racing license and started racing Spec Miata. After a couple of seasons, I have now transitioned into open-wheel racing in the SCCA FX class, piloting a Formula Mazda.

This is my story. Follow along as I learn how to get off the bench and into the game of life!

My current passions

SCCA racing

It was a childhood dream of mine to become a racecar driver. Once I began reconnecting with my true self, the desire to race again ignited in my soul, and I decided to see if I had what it takes to race competitively.  I initially decided on Spec Miata because they have the country’s largest and most competitive series.  I purchased an SM and obtained my SCCA & NASA competition licenses.  After 2 seasons in the SM, it was clear to me that the banging NASCAR-type fields of the mid-pack SM world were not where my passion lay.  I moved into open-wheel racing.  On Labor day weekend, I won my first SCCA Major @ MSR Houston and finished the weekend with a 1st, 2nd & 3rd  for the three races.

 

scuba diving

As a child, I remember spending hours in front of the TV watching Jacques Cousteau, exploring the ocean’s mysteries. I was enthralled by the incredible and seemingly otherworldly creatures.  It is a love I carried my entire life that I tried to assuage with aquariums, initially freshwater and later saltwater, but they never really satisfied my need for the deep. I took my initial introductory dive and received my Padi Open Water certification in 2015.  I have dove cenotes, wrecks, bull sharks, and night dives, and love them all.  I now have my Advanced Open Water with over 100 dives under my belt, and am looking forward to many more underwater adventures that I will be posting here.  My latest passion is spearfishing, wreck dives, and overhead/Cenote dives.

 

 

Travel,Hiking & Fitness

The love of travel is something I think is rooted in the fact that, as a child, I never left Texas. It wasn’t until I was a young adult and started my first job that I finally stretched beyond the enormous boundaries of our great state and headed to Chicago. I have since been to 46 states and 4 countries.  I love the Caribbean and travel there often to experience its beauty and culture, I can’t seem to get enough, even though my Texas roots always bring me back home.
