I started sim racing with F1 2000 on my parents computer (although I think I enjoyed crashing more than driving fast back then). I got my first wheel when I was about 8, and haven't been able to stop driving since, although thankfully I have been able to move on from playing with it on the 'Cars the Movie' video game...
I joined iRacing in 2014 and fell in love with the MX5. Slow car, but great racing, and it really taught me the underlying principles to be fast in any car. I had good success in the Advanced Mazda championship before going to university and having to put sim-racing aside for a while. Now I've graduated, I'm enjoying being able to put more time into racing, mostly in leagues and endurance races. With my old team, GTN Racing, I had a few top 5 top-split finishes at Le Mans and Bathurst, but I'm eager for more and excited to push for the top spots with Apex Tech Racing. I'm enjoying racing fast cars with fast drivers, and am starting to fall in love with the P217.
I'm a huge motorsports fan generally and have spent some time working with McLaren F1 team during my Master's year at university. In my spare time, I'm a keen glider pilot and love anything that flies, with or without an engine. Funnily enough, the university gliding club is where I met Jamie for the first time, and we're now teammates!

I started sim racing like so many others with Gran Turismo 3 and 4 on the PlayStation 2. Naturally I fell for the plethora of sportscars and prototypes in the games as well as the JDM classics. I specialise in endurance racing and my first experience of this was organising my own Scalextric Le Mans 24 hours as a kid. I have been a long-time supporter of Audi and while my dream car would be an RS6, I would settle for an S4 Avant to complement my daily Impreza WRX STI. I see competitive sim racing as more attractive than real world competition due to the cost, practicality, and global competitiveness of the sport. My first endurance win on iRacing came on my debut with Apex Tech Racing, winning the inaugural VRS Global Endurance Series 24 hour race at Hockenheim in the Dallara P217, and have since finished on the podium in the IVRA Endurance Series and qualified the team for the renowned Sports Car Open Endurance Series in 2021.

My first experience of Racing came from playing Gran Turismo 2 on PlayStation and Kellogg’s Gr-r-rand Prix on my Dad’s old PC when I was 6. This started my fascination with cars and racing and my favourite games back then were Need for Speed Underground 2 and Gran Turismo 3. I have always been drawn to racing games and sims but I only started taking it seriously when I turned 20 with Gran Turismo Sport. When I turned 21 I took up karting for the first time, finishing ever race in the top 20 in my debut season in the British Universities Karting Championship Intermediates category. I bought my first sim wheel when I was 22 starting out with a Logitech G29. This wheel helped me progress ultimately finishing 102nd in the Europe/Middle East/Africa regional manufacturers championship and 3rd for Ferrari. From here I slowly transitioned into iRacing by mid 2020 and upgraded my equipment accordingly. In the beginning I mostly focussed on the VRS Sprint and Endurance Championships. I picked up my first GT win at Donnington on the 2nd of January 2021. Not long after I picked up my first win in F3 at the same circuit. I then tried the Dallara P217 for the first season of the Apex Technologies LMP2 Championship and immediately loved the car and scored a win in my second iRacing official race at Silverstone in the European Sprint Series. I was part of the ATR team that recently won the 24 hours of Hockenheim which was my first Endurance win. I look forward to more great performances with the team in the future.

I started iRacing as a hobby and just for fun as I have always loved racing and the concept of it. I did a little bit of karting but nothing professional. Going to school full time after spending 5 years in the Marine Corps, I didn't have much time at first and started only doing the 4 hour Nürburgring Nordschleife. Then decided later that joining a league might be fun as there might be more respect and closer competition. This is where I met Ej and Ryan and the Apex Tech Racing team was originated. Being all from the US and being in the same time zones we were able to get on mostly at the same time and did different 24hr and 12hr events together. I am happy to be a part of this team and organization from the beginning and thankful for Ryan and Ej for everything they give to this team. The dream to one day drive endurance racing in real life will forever be my goal but this is the closest I can get to it so I will compete and take it as serious as anything. Hopefully we grow as a team and only get bigger and stronger then any other organization.

I'm studying for a graphic design bachelor’s degree. I love videogames, music and sports in general and as long as the car's engine sings to my ears I will love to drive it. I started to do some livery designs here and there before putting one of them open to public, which is still popular to this day. I started working with EJ and Apex Tech Racing during Autumn 2020 before officially joining the team in Summer 2021. In addition to racing, Théo is the official Apex Tech Racing Team and Apex Tech Racing LMP2 Championship Graphic Designer and Livery Painter.

I am a part time sim racer and full time crane planning engineer. When not sim racing I am teaching about and planning lifting operations for the largest UK construction projects. I plan lifting operations for one of the UKs biggest plant companies. I have engineered and overseen the construction of tower cranes, skyscrapers, power stations, multi crane, worlds tallest modular tower, crawler cranes, viaducts, tandem lifting, specialist lifting, and plant movement. I teach planning lifting operations allowing younger engineers to get certified to work with the largest cranes in Europe. I am a rapidly emerging endurance sim racer coached by Maxime Brient (Apex Racing Team) and Vincent Capillaire (ELMS racing driver for Graff, 2nd Place Le Mans 24h 2018). I won iRacing 21S3 division 2 of the European Endurance Series and at the time of writing lead the overall & division 1 of the Global Endurance League. Some people at work call me the wizard because they come to me when they need an answer and have nowhere else to go to and my team think its fitting. Most importantly my beard and curly mousatche make me much faster on the track.

Well, I started my racing career after college in the INEX Legend Car series and was lucky enough to win the track championship and the National Road Race championships my Rookie year and then I was hooked. The next year we were able to win the top series at the "Bullring" in Las Vegas, NV in the Super Late Model Division as we captured the Rookie of the Year and the Track Championship in the same year. We then dabbled in the NASCAR Southwest Tour for a few races, on a good run, my wife and I decided to have our first of two Rug Rats; we have been spending the last 14 years teaching them the way of life!

I am also able to stay in the loop in the "real world" of racing by helping Kurt Busch in the NASCAR series as a spotter on road race weekends, been a fun 20 years helping my best friend and we even have a championship ring together.

I started my Sim Racing Career in the Spring of 2021 doing oval racing for the first 8 months before switching over to the GTE cars in road racing and fell in love with the need in my stomach to be competitive again in racing. I enjoy the endurance racing series that iRacing offers and have a great team to help me grow and get faster in the sim world.

After winning the 2021 Season 3 Hagerty IMSA series in my Porsche RSR - we will start to focus on the GT3 series as IMSA moves away from GTE heading into 2022. Looking forward to running the SCO and IVRA Championship Series with Apex Tech and helping our team compete for podiums and championships in these top series with driving and strategy.
