SCCA O'Gorman started competing at local Cincinnati region SCCA autocross events as a teenager in 2007.

O'Gorman's first SCCA Solo National Tour event was in 2008 in Peru, IN, where he placed first in Street Touring S2 in a 1990 Mazda Miata

O'Gorman's first SCCA Solo Nationals event was in 2009 at Lincoln Air Park, which was the first year that event was held at that location.

In 2012. O'Gorman won his first SCCA ProSolo National in a 1988 Honda CRX Si.

In 2013, O'Gorman won his first SCCA Solo Nationals in a 1972 Porsche 914/6, and was also awarded the Driver of the Year Award. In that same year, he also won the SCCA Triad Award, for accomplishing three feats in a single class: win two regular season achievements and a National Championship, all in the same class.

Since then, O'Gorman has gone on to win five Solo Nationals Championships and two ProSolo National Championships total.

Pirelli World Challenge O'Gorman started racing his own car in 2015, a Honda Fit, made possible by a crowd fund from the people who knew him.

O'Gorman teamed up with Black Armor Helmets for 2016, and ended up winning the TCB Championship with that Honda Fit.

In 2017, O'Gorman was a part of Shea Racing, and moved up to TCA, in a 2017 Honda Civic Si. He finished third in the championship that year.

In 2018, determined to win, O'Gorman took his Honda Civic Si to first in the TCA Drivers' Championship and a second place in the TCA Team Championship for TOMO Racing.

IMSA Continental Tire Challenge & Michelin Pilot Challenge O'Gorman was joined by Kenton Koch in the 2018 Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge, behind the wheel of an Audi RS 3 LMS TCR. After making their debut mid-season at Watkins Glen, the duo claimed race victories at Virginia and Road Atlanta before season's end.

In 2019, O'Gorman joined the LA Honda World Racing team, co-driving their Honda Civic Type R TCR along with Shelby Blackstock. They saw success, with two wins, one at Daytona, and one at Sebring, and two more podiums that year. Unfortunately a few mechanical issues hurt their season points that year.

O'Gorman was able to get back into the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge through Rockwell Autosport Development (RAD) in 2023 at Daytona, unfortunately the car was involved in an incident before he was able to drive the car. That was the only IMSA event he participated in that year.

Rockwell Autosport Development once again invited O'Gorman to drive the car at Daytona in 2024. This time it ended much better, the team and O'Gorman finished fourth in the TCR class.
