Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration stems from a lifelong passion for racing and a personal mission to prevent tragedy. After losing my father to a motorcycle accident, I dedicated myself to creating innovative street racing alternatives. Today, with over 500 events under our belt, this work has become a way to save lives and honor my faith. My grandfather helped me launch this business, and I continue to build it in his honor.

How do you stay motivated?

It’s not easy; building a business that has never existed before—without a prior structure or roadmap—comes with unique challenges. I stay motivated by knowing the sacrifice will pay off one day, whether I benefit from it or my children do. Staying consistent is hard, but when you're pioneering street racing alternatives to save lives, you push through. I know one day it will all be worth it.

What would you do with the $25,000?

The funds will be used for three strategic goals: Expansion: Securing a new venue to host more frequent events and better serving the community needs. Infrastructure: Buying more tools to embrace our community outreach programs Sustainability: Launching a clothing brand to create a steady stream of fundraising revenue and community awareness for our mission.
