SUMMARY
I’m a former AMERICAN LE MANS SERIES On Air Reporter and I love talking cars. I know the performance car
shopping experience and understand just how important it is to share the best of every feature, every development of
every model made. As a television personality, I’ve learned to passionately deliver product information with
excitement and interest.
