I have two degrees from San Diego State University, First up was personal fitness and nutrition, then a couple years later I finished my business management side of my aerospace engineering degree.
Ever since my racing hobby (that I have been doing since I was 9) took presence over my daily job, I now am a contracted professional race car driver and test driver in upper level motorsports. That has now been my career and main source of income ever since 2001.

I have done some side work with high performance driver instructing for various driving schools and also do some R&D for several aftermarket tire, chassis, and suspension companies. I also sometimes get called in to do an occasional track data acquisition test for some media companies/ magazines.

For a side business, the last 3 years or so I have used my racing background and contacts to kinda break into the tuner car market which brings me here to this forum...... I am the owner of Relentless Autosports

I started out in college to be an aircraft mechanic. Got drafted, and signed for the AF next day. When I retire I would like to get my A/P. I love working on recips. There are many days I wish I was in a hanger somewhere and not listening to some guys line of B.S. :rolleyes: RP

You might think that, but you catch a lot of grief from docs and marketing people. It's great knowing you help others, but I've learned that engineering is a thankless job.
