5 questions we asked and he answered:
\n<\/h3>\n

 
\n1. How did you develop a passion for cars and\/or motorsports?<\/strong>
\nGrowing up following in my dad\u2019s 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\u00a0Need for Speed\u00a0and\u00a0Gran Turismo, have always been a part of my life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. What advice do you have for people who want to break into the motorsports and auto industry?<\/strong>
\nJust get out and do what you want in the industry. Find what you enjoy the most. If you\u2019re into shooting photography, buy a cheap film camera or a digital camera. If you love racing, go go-karting with your friends. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. If you could drive any car, what would it be and why?<\/strong>
\nMy current top favorite cars to drive would be an AMG One and an Aston Martin Valkyrie.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. If you could attend any car\/motorsports event in the world, which would you choose? Why?<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m a very big fan of some motorsports overseas: Le Mans 24Hr, World Time Attack, and any F1 race outside of the US.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. What’s the most exciting car event\/race you’ve ever attended?<\/strong>
\nThe most exciting event I\u2019ve ever attended would have to be the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Laguna Seca.<\/span><\/p>\n
