On the last day of the decade, December 31, 2009 – I’ve put together this highlight post of my 2009. The year has been great for me, I started my own production company, had several firsts (NASCAR race, Bonneville Speedweek, Pikes Peak, and FIA GT), and crisscrossed the United States on road trips no less than three times. I also got to visit friends and meet up with friends in new areas of the country. Snowboard more than previous years and get recognition for my work. Thank you to everyone for your support and friendship in 2009. Cannot wait to go bigger in 2010. Happy new years.
