Have you served on any Regional or National committees: Not with this organization.

What encouraged you to join the Porsche Club of America: I now own 4 Porsches and thought it was time.

When it came time to buy a vehicle, what made you choose your Porsche and is this your first Porsche (if not please detail prior Porsche's): I’ve owned a lot of cars in my life; I have collected, tracked, played with and loved them all. I curate my own ideas of collections and have been waiting to curate a Porsche collection…for KEEPS! My Porsche collection logic: I have the 80’s (84 928), 90’s (2 996’s) and the 00’s (Cayman). I have a front engine 928, a midengine Cayman, rear engine(s) 996. I have a Tiptronic, an automatic, and 5sp and a 6sp. I have a cab, 2 S/R’s and one straight coupe. I wait until, make/model/ year all align with miles and condition and ultimately price. It took me 2+ years to get this exact four

car set. They will be with me for a long, long time…..

What are your favorite Regional &/or National events: Pebble Beach, Auction week in Phoenix/Scottsdale, SEMA

What is your favorite PCA memory: I’ve only one. I took my dog, Grace on the Annapolis Rally a few weeks back. Fun, fun, fun.

What advice about PCA or Chesapeake would you give to new members: engagement. Be involved, get active and share your experiences (and cars if you so choose). As a new member I am heeding my own advice!

If money was no object, what Porsche would you love to own and why: The first known Porsche to enter the USA. Likely a 356 of German ownership? I love history and the first of anything, much like a first addition book, is unique and cannot be replicated. There are no knockoffs in first time “events”.

Anything additional you would like to share about yourself (Family/Work/Etc): Two items: 1My wife, also a car lover, and I take out 2 of our Porsches at once and do swaps to compare them all. Hard driving, back road driving, fast driving….all to compare notes on the 4 Porsches and their respective personalities; and 2- I am the founding Partner of GO. GO is a branding and marketing entity created expressly to market all things automotive to those not typically engaged in the automotive space.
