All my life I never had a chance to take up a sport or do something that is fun, yeah Karate was fun but I have never really been about competition. Anything competition wise bores me as I am not a competitive person.
I guess you can say after my divorce in 2009 and after moving to Oregon, I needed to get my mind off of things and focus on new tings in Life. Drifting started for me in 2010 with Touge NW, These diverse and friendliest people alive gave me a new meaning in life. Moving up to Oregon was both good and bad, as my business plan and idea got put aside due and then major control / drama with another. Technically I lived off of my unemployment living up in Oregon but at least I got to have some fun. I learned the term drifting with a few DriftX events that took place in Hoodoo resort in Sister’s Oregon. Ever since then my life has been changed, granted I attempted so many times with my firebird while auto-crossing and had over 1000 ride-a-longs with other talented drivers.
It is like I have found something in life to actually set my mind on and for once relax but that wasn’t all in Oregon that got me to relax. It’s like I had my chance to open my mind first handed on how to run and operate a business and I know with out me the business has crashed. I got to experience a different life for once and a point in my life I can sit down and figure out me for myself. Granted I miss Oregon but I don’t let it bother me, I still every day live my life to the fullest and understanding myself every day as the days go by.
Drift has became a new focus in life for me as for a hobby, most I want to take it is Pro-Am status as a goal and doing so having fun. It’s all about having fun, and it’s giving myself something I never had before and that is giving me something as I spent most of my life giving and never giving myself but to know what to give your self can also be a challenge it does take soul searching of what makes “fun” for you.
