I love to write! Well, duh. I guess after nine books, that's a bit obvious.
I could tell you all about how, at the age of five, I declared that I would be a professional race driver when I grew up, but that would mean that I grew up - and I don't feel like I have! See, I've spent my life doing what I love: driving race cars, coaching drivers, talking about driving, writing about performance in sports and business, coaching executives and business owners, learning, and writing about them all.
Behind the wheel, after years of racing sprints cars, Formula Ford, Formula Atlantic, Trans-Am, I finally realized my dream of racing Indy cars. And then, after a few years of struggling with underfunded and "under-competitive" Indy cars, I got the opportunity to drive prototype and GT sports cars in IMSA, Grand-Am and ALMS.
I'm a "learning junkie." I've focused my addiction on sports psychology, educational kinesiology, neuroscience, human learning strategies and coaching for performance. While testing all of these techniques and strategies on myself, I won the 1998 United States Road Racing Championship, driving for the factory-backed BMW team, and the 2003 Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona. As a coach, my drivers have won at practically every level and in every form of motorsport: road racing, oval racing, motorcycles, drifting, and even drag racing, in North America and around the world. I also do a lot of speaking engagements and seminars at car club events, working with both individuals and entire groups, drivers and instructors.

But performance is performance. It doesn't matter if it's on the race track or in the boardroom. I've had a blast successfully applying the same performance-based approaches to the business world (coaching executives, managers, sales people, teams, etc.) that I do with drivers. Interestingly, some of my business coaching clients don't know a thing about my motorsport background - and it doesn't matter since my focus is on helping them improve performance in the workplace.

While I live in the Pacific Northwest, my coaching and speaking engagements ensures that I travel a lot - something that I have a love-hate relationship with. I share some of my travel experiences at https://www.facebook.com/Roadramblings.
That's it. I gotta go do some writing.
