INSPIRATION
Through doing some charity work, John received an offer to audition for a new television show about cars. That began his journey on TV. Being a historian, John was always inspired by his mother and her passion for antiques.
CHALLENGE
The number of automotive TV shows has dwindled, and some producers are not “car guys” so the credibility and authenticity are gone. John and his team are creating real automotive focused TV for the future.
SPECIAL AUTOMOBILE
The Porsche 911, the cockroach of the car world, they last forever.
BOOK RECOMMENDATION
The Script for the movie Le Mans
