AboutExtensive race & test-driving and performance driving instructor experience provided me an in depth understanding of vehicle dynamics, the “science” of how cars work, and the ability to describe exactly how to extract the most performance from a car under all circumstances. Utilizing these skills I have designed and developed custom driving programs that highlighted specific automotive technologies, including autonomous driving, electric autonomous & alternative fuels, and the wide variety of current electronic driver aids.ExperienceOver twenty-five years of event production experience, including all phases of pre-production, on-site management and operation of media, consumer and executive programs, events and national tours. I expanded my role from professional driver into overall program production and event management as road producer, fleet manager and subject matter expert. With production experience in nearly 200 primarily automotive events, programs and tours, I have held management positions for some of the auto industry's most prestigious marketing and media events, including the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics Torch Relay, NFL Super Bowl, Robb Report Car of the Year, GM Autoshow-in-Motion, Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, B2B events, new technology launches, as well as live music tours. Performing in these roles and positions, I participated in nearly every significant Mercedes-Benz USA media launch from 1998-2016.SkillsMy skill set encompasses all aspects of overall event production, development, management, and operations with current special emphasis on current automotive technology program design, such as alternative fuels, EV, and autonomous driving. And, just for fun, I can still crank off a few hot laps, too.
