His career in the sports industry has been active since the 1990s, and he has been an active member of the entertainment industry as a reality television personality since 2013.

Career Beginnings

Big Chief’s love for street races was developed very early – he used to ride his bike to watch the races on Old Route 66 at the age of nine, where he met the various street race crews of the Oklahoma City area, which encouraged him to pursue his dream as a street racer. In the first place, he had to invest in his own car, so he worked various odd jobs to earn enough money, including at a gas station. He ultimately got a job at Midwest Street Cars, a company which sells car parts, and soon after he bought his first car, a 1972 Pontiac LeMans, which was customized as he wanted and later became known by the nickname ‘The Crow’.

Subsequently, Big Chief’s professional career moved to the next level, as he caught the attention of the producers of the Discovery Channel, who were amazed by his accomplished success in the sports industry as a street racer and race car expert. They offered him involvement in the entertainment industry as a reality television personality, which he obviously accepted. So, he initially appeared in the reality TV series “Midwest Street Cars”, which later became part of another reality TV series, entitled “Street Outlaws”. It has been airing on the Discovery Channel since the first episode premiered on the 10th June of 2013, increasing enormously his popularity and adding a considerable amount to his net worth. It is currently in its eleventh season.

Other Projects

To speak further about his career, Big Chief entered “405 List” as one of the fastest street racers, released by Oklahoma Guys in 2006. Additionally, he participated at professional NHRA drag racing in 2016.

Big Chief is also a businessman, known for co-owning Midwest Street Cars Automotive, alongside Shawn Ellington, which he serves as the person in charge of sales and consultation.

Car Crash

Although street car racing is quite exciting, it can also be dangerous, which Big Chief found out in November of 2015, when he had a accident with racer Brian ‘Chucky’ David while they were racing in Oklahoma. Their cars crashed when both of them lost control of their vehicles, but he managed to survive even though he suffered such injuries as a damaged spinal cord, broken collarbone, and pulmonary contusions, while his car was completely ruined. Nonetheless, it did not stop him, and after recovery, he restored his car and returned to the streets.

Personal Life, Rumors and Appearance

To talk about his personal life, Big Chief met Alicia Shearer, a respiratory therapist, at the age of 18 while he was working at a gas station. They started dating in 1998, and eventually tied the knot at a private wedding ceremony held in September of 2006. The couple is blessed with two sons, named Corbin and Covil. According to some rumors, Alicia filed for divorce from Big Chief in November of 2017 due to some problems in their relationship. The rumors are based on the fact that he has been seen in the show alongside his new girlfriend, named Jacklyn Braasch, who is also an accomplished street racer. However, none of the the three has confirmed it.
