“So, it was a decision that took a lot of time and thought.  I have known one of the Freaks’ players, Ryan Verdecia, for quite a few years from coaching and competing together.  We had been talking about doing GRID together after the very first year.  Last year we were close to making it happen, but I had given the Lions my commitment and I wanted another year to prove we could step up from the first year and we did, by winning the championship! I know the players from the Freaks more personally and we used to train together fairly often.  I enjoyed racing under Jamie and that made it hard to switch.  I am excited to join the Freaks and get a chance to race and train with people I’ve known and looked up to.  I am definitely excited to go up against the Lions.  I have nothing but respect for Jamie as a coach and Courtney as GM, but when we race, I am going to lay it all on the line.  This is a new year, and the Freaks are ready to turn things around and earn that championship!”
