Jeremy Porter is the CEO at the Atlanta Motorsports Park in Dawsonville, Georgia. He’s the leading protagonist at the Park and his vision of building a ground breaking, eco-sustainable race track featuring some of the most exciting elevation changes in the world first took place in 2008. Three years later the Park opened its doors. Today it is ranked one of the top tracks in North America and its Formula One designed main circuit plays host to some of the leading car manufacturers and racing teams. There is also an innovative kart track on the property. Formerly a partner at WMI Jeremy specialized in business strategy, organizational development, and human capital. Before that he was VP of Operations for The Corban Group. He’s a racer as well who enjoys plenty of track time.
