I was fortunate to grow up around motorsports, watching my Great Uncle, drag racing legend Dyno Don Nicholson innovate racing technology and win championships. I have always been a student of the automotive aftermarket, with my nose in a Hot Rod magazine (or the like) for as long as I can remember. After graduating from college, I worked for Meguiar's car care for almost ten years before starting Elevate-Volvo Performance/Styling (www.elevatecars.com) in 2003. My work at Elevate allows me to combine my knowledge of making a car go faster, stop harder and turn better with marketing and sales experience (and I get to play with car parts!). I enjoy all forms of motorsport. I serve on the Benedict Castle Concours planning committee.
