My answer: I am me, there are no others like me!

Conventional Answer: First and foremost I am a lifelong car enthusiast, I am also an amatuer audio/video producer (i.e. podcaster), technology evangalist, military retiree, and enthusiast of anything which sounds like a good time. I've been around the world and driven and rode almost anything with wheels. I've driven everything from a go-kart up to a tractor trailer on land, and on water from canoe up to navy frigate. If it has an engine and wheels I want to drive it to it's limits and have fun while doing it.

My more recent adventures have been Route 66 and a two day offroad navigational rally where we got completely lost, but my codriver Marie and I held it togetherand pulled thru to make it out of our situation. Our motto: Have fun first and everything else takes care of itself.

To have fun no matter the outcome and show respect for the rules of the game and to fellow competitors.

Todd is the main driver of this team but is not afraid to hand off the wheel over to my co-driver/navigator. He has driven almost anything with wheels and is confident in his skills behind the wheel, but knows his limits and the limits of the vehicle he is in control of. Todd tends to think of the worst things first and the right things second. He usually goes with his second thoughts.

Marie is a confident navigator and competent and capable co-driver. She's not afraid of anything, and when necessary she is truly a wolf in sheeps clothing yet such an angel at heart. Marie's great attitude is what keeps the team effective.

In the past few years we have driven cross country on Route 66 (well 3/4 of it), were participants in a two day off-road navigational rally (where we got totally lost, but never lost our way as a team), and have driven hundreds of miles off-road in the Anza Borrego Desert in Southern California.

Teamwork! Teamwork! Teamwork! As a team we know that sometimes fast is slow, and sometimes slow is fast. Respect for each other and to others (but sometimes it's so much fun to be the antagonist)
