Day 1 vs. Day 3,652 @tesla - Celebrating my 10 year anniversary at Tesla today!

After a decade at Tesla, I feel incredibly honored for all of the achievements our company has completed including an estimated 7,516,772 vehicles delivered during my tenure.

Looking back, it has been beyond challenging while being one of the most rewarding companies I have ever worked for. The non stop commitment to changing the world to be a better place by transitioning the world to sustainable energy (abundance) is driven by the most talented, driven individuals that solve the toughest problems most others would never ever touch. We are encouraged to fail fast, learn from it, and implement improvements and solve the problem. Every day feels like a new day, it never feels the same and this is what makes working for Tesla so exciting.

I started at the ground level as an owner advisor in our location in Walnut Creek CA. Now, I am fortunate to work on North America Sales Operations overseeing US, Canada, and Latin America including Signage, Business Generation and many other projects I cannot speak about....wink wink.

I am so thankful to my wife for all of her support over all of these years, I would be lying if I didn't almost give up many times but she kept me grounded and gave me confidence to continue going and to look at all of the positives vs. negatives @LatorresPack

Thank you to @elonmusk for being a visionary leader! Your inspiring drive has fueled my decade-long journey at Tesla, and I'm grateful for your unmatched innovation

Thank you to @troyrjones for recruiting me from the watch industry. You are an absolute inspiration and I have looked up to you since day 1.

@MyTeslaMoonship When I was not on FSD I put my turn signal on when a car was in blind spot and it worked great

Celebrating my 45th birthday weekend at my favorite track Laguna Seca. Our run group was super fast and packed with a lot of sick cars, which made it feel more like a race with the open passing. I was unable to beat my personal best due to the traffic but I actually loved the race vibe.

Here are a few of my favorite shots so far!

Every morning I roll into a track day in my Tesla, I get so many weird looks. I can tell they are thinking - “What is this electric car doing at the racetrack and he will never be able to compete with us.” By the end of the day, many people come over take pictures, ask me all about the car and are absolutely blown away by how the Unplugged Performance Red rocket does on the track. It is cool when people open up and are not close minded. I am a huge car lover, and do not discriminate against any car and it is such a joy to be around all the different types of cars on track days.

Their minds are even more mind blown when I tell them it drove me to the track and will drive me home so I can just enjoy the view surrounding me thanks to FSD.

This was my first time using Vitour P1 tires and they stuck to the track like superglue, I loved them and could use a sponsorship - wink wink Vitour

Dear @elonmusk,

I swore I would never buy anything but a Tesla ever again…

You asked people to make more babies

I can’t do both unless @tesla builds a full size SUV off the @cybertruck platform!

-Sincerely
Everyone

Join us for a hike up the magical Cataract Falls Trail in Marin County. If you have never been here, I highly suggest to check it out. It is filled with many waterfalls, the sound of water is pretty much the entire hike, bridges that feel like you are at Disneyland, and ferns that make you feel like you’re in another world. This was a wonderful way to celebrate my 45th birthday and it is even dog friendly.
