Makes/Teaches: I teach people to make something of themselves. Maybe not directly perse but this is my life’s passion.
Skills: I dropped out of high school and never went to college. And until something grabs me by the throat, gives me goosebumps and screams at my soul aches demanding formal further education, I have no intention of going.
I am a jack of any trade that strikes my fancy, a master of nothing other than human interaction. I simply love people, their stories and how their brain works.
Today, for example, I was at Best Buy (not the highlight of the story) to pick up a quick replacement for a GoPro camera I had just broken. A family saw me buying parts and asked if I had one of these cameras as they were on the market. Fifteen minutes later I knew all about their ski trip they were about to go on, their son’s middle school report card and they had made the most informed buying decision of their life. Why? Because I liked them. And I wasn’t in a hurry. And I love to meet people.
If I was to make a list of things I can do, however, it would be more a list of things I can get done. I build and drive racing cars and run a truck repair shop. I know a thing or two about vehicles. I have self-promoted myself (to a marginal degree of success) for the past few years in racing forcing me to lend my hand to a touch more creative work than anticipated at the outset of this heinously difficult career path that has chosen me. Not quite on part with you amazing ladies but I have my own flavor.
I love to take pictures. I love to make videos which I have learned how to shoot and edit in the past year or two. I am proficient with public speaking although a bit rusty. I have been told since I was 9 years old that I am wise far beyond my years. I am regularly told my wit and humor is going to either make me rich and famous or get me killed. I think both.
Two years ago I had a customer rent a car from me for a race who was so impressed with what a miracle I pulled off from my ragtag team that he offered me a very, very expensive executive sales training program which I took and for the most part remember and exercise regularly. More importantly I have all the paper stuff with scribblins on it so I can maybe refresh and use it again when life calls for it.
Ok I seriously have no idea how to fill this out and no idea what else to say. I’ll fax you if I think of anything else?
1st Choice Chow: Ah La Cart. One of the owners stabbed me in the leg with a compass in 7th grade. She makes really good chocolate salty balls now.
Bad-ass Self Rating: 6?
Qualifications: I have no idea if I am qualified to be Stella’s new man. But she seems nice and I’d at least like to get to know her, see if there’s any chemistry. If it seems like a good fit, we’ll just see where it goes. Honestly, I’m fresh out of a long relationship and I’m not looking for anything too serious. But I guess we never are when the good ones come along are we?

I used all music from my friends’ bands for the Peak Peek videos.
A selection of photos best representing me is attached. These photos are either of me or taken by me. I think my best work has to be my album of findings from my life’s travels on Facebook entitled “Ridiculous”- https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1008187518643.2707.1043586852
