Race Car Driver, Moonlighting as an Engineer.... Wait is that Backwards??

About Me

" border=0
Click to zoom in on my visitor map!
I am a detail oriented energetic engineer who pushes things to their limits. I love cars, boats, and technology, so if its expensive and gives me a thrill, I am into it.
Check us out at www.Pmotorsports.com
As you can see by my pictures archive, my dad and I have kicked up racing a notch. We plan to go to at least 8 major events and I am investigating sponsorship and website development for our cars.
See what happens when you finish a master degree and have some spare time!!!
Words to live by: Whatever Doesn't Kill You, Makes You Stronger..Pictures from my latest adventure, Skip Barber Racing School
You Are 32 Years Old
Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.
13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.
20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.
30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!
40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax. What Age Do You Act?
Your Element is Wood
Your power colors: green and brown
Your energy: generative
Your season: spring
Like a tree, you are always growing and changing.
And while your life is dynamic, you are firmly grounded.
You have high morals and great confidence in yourself and others.
You have a wide set of interests, and you make for intersting company. What Element Are You?
