5 questions we asked and he answered:
1. How did you develop a passion for cars and/or motorsports?
Growing up following in my dad’s footsteps, he was always into tuner cars and motorcycles and that kind of stuck with me throughout my life. The games I played, such as Need for Speed and Gran Turismo, have always been a part of my life.
2. What advice do you have for people who want to break into the motorsports and auto industry?
Just get out and do what you want in the industry. Find what you enjoy the most. If you’re into shooting photography, buy a cheap film camera or a digital camera. If you love racing, go go-karting with your friends.
3. If you could drive any car, what would it be and why?
My current top favorite cars to drive would be an AMG One and an Aston Martin Valkyrie.
4. If you could attend any car/motorsports event in the world, which would you choose? Why?
I’m a very big fan of some motorsports overseas: Le Mans 24Hr, World Time Attack, and any F1 race outside of the US.
5. What’s the most exciting car event/race you’ve ever attended?
The most exciting event I’ve ever attended would have to be the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Laguna Seca.
