First: I'd like to thank N2 for this awesome opportunity! We're going to have a blast and I can't wait to help y'all meet your goals at the track.
Second: I was asked to introduce myself but I really do hate talking about myself. Don't get me wrong I love telling some good "there I was..." and "this one time..." stories but I prefer to let my work and other people speak for me.
I'll give it a try and let people who do know me fill in where needed:
I’m 44, a Sagitarius… I like long walks on the beach and… wait this probably isn’t what you want.
From 92 to 04, I was a Loadmaster on C-130’s in the Air Force with 2300 flight hours and the rank of Tech Sgt.
Then worked at Lockheed in the customer training department as a systems engineer writing courseware and procedures for the C-130J. I also wrote and performed acceptance testing for simulators for the Royal Air Force and US Air Force.
In 2006 I took an early retirement and bought Marietta Motorsports.
Other than owning this business, I worked at the Kevin Schwantz Suzuki School for 3 years and I’ve had the honor of being crew chief to racers such as: Opie Caylor, Blake Young, Brandon Cretu and CR Gittere at the Isle of Man TT, Brandon Cretu also at the Macau GP, other AMA and WERA riders and even had the honor of being Schwantz’ crew chief for his last AMA race in 2005. Other than the shop I'm currently I'm crew chief / mentor / tuner to Anne Roberts and sponsoring Joe Gianatto and Andy White all in WERA where Marietta Motorsports is also the title sponsor of their Southeast Sportsman series.
I’ve also raced a bit myself mostly in WERA’s “Senior Superbike” class on a GSX-R 600 and an R6 where I’ve podiumed and actually won a few races against some really great guys.
What else?
Oh here’s something Dave Swartz wrote about me and the shop a while back. http://www.bbcracing.com/Dec09MarMo.pdf
What we'll be bringing to the track: Crap loads of race and track day knowledge, Dunlop tires, suspension setups and upgrades, spares, tools, my dog Affe, advice and a lot of fun.
If anyone has ANY suggestions for me I'm all ears. We've been racing since the late 90s, run our own track days, even put on a 4 hour EX250 endurance race but we're always ready to learn!

And you're right, it is a great write up.
