Working in Marion County
I love Knoxville and always have. I am proud of the city I grew up in and feel that as a businessman and race car driver I am a true advocate for the great things our city has to offer. We have a nice small town feel but are capable of accomplishing big things. I love the Marion County Fairgrounds.
Living in Marion County
Hands down for me, Knoxville Raceway. We are privileged to live in “The Sprint Car Capital of the World”. We take for granted the hallowed grounds of Marion County Fairgrounds. I enjoy working with real estate clients and sharing my passion for sprint cars. We simply are a great small town with loving and supportive individuals.
Favorite Place to Relax
When I am not working you will find me in my race shop at Jamie Ball Racing or at Knoxville Raceway. Sprint cars are a way of life for my family and I and am thankful Knoxville Raceway gives me that opportunity. Away from the track you'll find my wife (Jacee) and I enjoy our ranch (3 dogs, 1 goat (lives in the house), 1 cat, 6 horses and 7 chickens. She is a professional cowboy mounted shooter so we attend/she participates in rodeo events around the country.
Career Opportunities
I think there are many opportunities. Knoxville is on the brink of big things when it comes to the success of Knoxville Raceway, Knoxville Hospital Expansion, Manufacturing Facilities Expansion, The Great Things Knoxville Community School District is accomplishing and the VA Project. We are an affordable and safe place to live and raise a family and further your career.
Community Favorites
Knoxville offers everything you could want from a small town. We have a decent amount of restaurants, grocery options, nice gas stations and entertainment from places like Knoxville Raceway and Slideways. Slideways has truly become a entertainment destination with its race track, mini golf course, arcade games, drinks and great food. Knoxville is an affordable place to be.
Career Advice to Teens
You can truly accomplish anything you want in life if you’re willing to put in the effort, dedicate yourself, make sacrifices and keep a positive mindset. We all have a different path but in the end life is what you make of it. Find a small circle of individuals who want you to be your best and have faith that in the end you will end up right where God intended you to be.

What is your wish for the Red Rock Area?
I wish that Marion County continues to gain momentum on supporting each other in community events and rallying around the success of Knoxville Raceway and the local businesses. It is truly the local community/businesses that can elevate all of Marion County to the top. Working together for the betterment and benefit of our area will only help each other. It's a win win for us all.
What is your biggest passion, and why?
I feel that my God given purpose on this Earth is to bring the Word of God to the racing community as a whole. Celebrate Church/Judd Nelson saved me on August 23, 2020 and that's been my desire since that day. To conduct myself in such a way that others want to know more and to affect the lives of others in a positive manner. Sprint Car Racing is my hobby and dream and combining the two has given me new life.
