Joe's Story
Life
Despite many twists and turns, here I am doing probably the best job in the world -- jetting first class to foreign places, staying at luxury resorts, driving exciting vehicles on public roads and at exclusive racetracks, eating in expensive restaurants ... and when I get home, they pay me! Go figure! But home is where I'm most comfortable.
School
It took me a while to grow up but I finally did it ... maybe not. I had a great time in High School, and probably a better time in University. I did really well in High School. University? Not so much. But I learned a lot about myself, which I guess counts for a lot, and I met a lot of great people. People with whom I've lost touch, but never forgotten. I've learned a lot from all of you. Thanks.
College
It's funn...Expand for more
y how many people I met that I thought I'd know forever. And not so funny how few with whom I still keep in touch. I wish I'd taken my studies more seriously, but I learned a lot none the less ... or inspite of myself. I squeaked by, but applied myself really well, and I guess that's really what it's all about.
Workplace
I graduated from university, then went to college to apply myself. Then I bartended and worked in bars for about five years, trying to find the job for which I learned to apply myself. Started writing, started writing about cars, got a job at a local paper reviewing cars and the auto industry, got a job as editor of a car magazine, travelled the world testing and reviewing cars, and now I'm online still covering the most exciting industry in the world.
