Red started racing on Lake St Clair in a 22'Chris Craft XK Crain Mutiny around 1974. By the late 70's Red would be a crew member in the Maverick with Steve Baum, winning the worlds in 1979 in sport class. Some of the other teams Red has raced with over the years are Lew Cooper's Miss Gallo, Gary Stuewe's Nasty. Red can even be credited with giving Bob Kaiser a start in Reds rent a ride Active cat.
