trainer led him to be called on by the Justice Institute to train emergency
vehicle operators, including police officers, in advanced and pursuit driving.
“I always seem to end up teaching what I love to do, that’s why I ended up
teaching people to drive almost any vehicle including police cars, to ride
motorcycles and to sail. That is also why I am so passionate about teaching
people how to achieve greater success as an entrepreneur or within a
corporate structure.”
