INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE
The word that sticks with me is passion. Find your passion, and stick to it.
CAREER & LIFE CHALLENGES
I’ve been lucky enough to work with people with a similar point-of-view as mine, and I’ve been very fortunate to have a job during previous recessions. As a race car driver, I didn’t have a killer instinct that some told me I needed. I finally decided to leave racing because I didn’t want to hurt myself or others.
FIRST SPECIAL VEHICLE
A 1940 Ford was the first car I owned, and I bought it with about $700.00 from my savings.
