Mine goes back to a job I had in the defense industry... as you know, you don't pick your call sign, it's given to you... Well, there was fantastically attractive girl at work who liked me (the feeling was mutual) and she would often come over to where I worked and chat with me. Whenever my boss came by and saw this he would yell "BIRRRRDDDDD DOGGGGG !!!" which initially drove me bat-sheet crazy. I finally decided to embrace it (to steal his thunder) and it's stuck ever since...

I went to a small AG high school where 56 Chevys and muscle cars were the pinnacle. Friends thought it hilarious I wanted a 911. Roughly 6 months after graduation I was merging onto the 101 from Mulholland dr. wondering where the accident was, looked down to see I was doing 90. Girlfriend chasing in TR 6 was not amused. I was hooked. Only type I've owned (6) until the water pumping 986.

I worked as a test driver for a automotive press fleet management company, these are the vehicles car manufacturers deliver to Automotive magazines etc. (This is when I fell in love with Porsche) A management change led me to quit this job & I decieded I wanted to be a Precision/Stunt Driver, so i took several driver training courses & printed some business cards with my new email address of my initials+prodriver. I soon realized all the precision drivers lived & worked north of Los Angeles & I didn't want a 4 hr commute. So I bought my own Porsche Boxsters & work for a different press fleet company. (The original company went bankrupt)
