2026 HUGS EVENT
Wall Hugs has been about more than drifting;
we strive to raise awareness of mental health in our community. This initiative is one of the most meaningful parts of our program, and reflects our commitment
to making a difference on and off the track.
Throughout the month of March, we are running our 2026 Hugs Event!

sTAY; YOUR STORY IS NOT OVER
Check out the details of the event as well as the limited merch below!

I’m from a small, one red light town of Newville, Pennsylvania and I’ve been a part of the drifting community since 2013. I found drifting while attending the University of Northwestern Ohio for High Performance Automotive. I fell in love with the sport and started going to local events around my school in my stock 2003 V6 Mustang.
​
After college, I bought a 1999 Mustang New Edge just to build for drifting. I began with some local events, then decided to go all in building a competition car in 2021. In 2022, I competed in a local series; Drift Nirvana Rivals, and ended up winning three of the four rounds. I took home the overall championship. This past year I decided to try and earn my license and enter in the East10 and Lake Erie Pro-Am series. I won the East10 series and earned my Formula DRIFT Prospec license.

“I feel it’s an art form
because to be able
to go as fast as we are,
as close to other cars
as we are, and do it
sideways and out of control,
but you’re still in control,
it’s kind of crazy.”
