Born with a passion for cars, the open road, and adventures. While I truly enjoy performance driving on race tracks, many say that I drive like a grandma with how aware and rule-abiding I am on city streets.

Trusted with daily-driving one of the early prototypes of the SLS. My Driving History: • Driving from 15 years old • Audi-certified and Porsche-certified in defensive driving • Countless auto-cross events in everything from a Z06 Corvette to a Mk4 Jetta • 2 years of high-performance drivers education at enclosed racetracks with professional instruction • Participated in a 2-week cross-USA road trip in my 2005 MINI Cooper • Participated in a 2-week cross-Europe road trip with extensive time spent driving in the Swiss alps • Driven in USA, Mexico, New Zealand, Ireland, Germany, UK, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Netherlands, and Italy.
