​

John’s life orbits at the intersection of adrenaline and precision. By day, he administers anesthesia in the operating room, holding lives in his hands. But when he is out of the hospital, you’ll find him flying in the air now that he has retired his fireproof suit and helmet. Motorsport is more than a sport—it’s a symphony of strategy, a canvas where physics and passion collide. He has danced with gravity, kissed apexes, and reveled in the roar of engines.

​

Under the Helmet:

​

  • Winfield American Award Winner: John’s journey began in the operating room, where he mastered the art of precision and focus as an anesthesiologist. But his heart raced elsewhere—on the track.

  • Sports Car Club Veteran: From Sports Renault to FF2000 and IMSA GT, he has pushed the limits of speed and agility. Victory isn’t just a goal; it’s a way of life.

  • Marketing Trailblazer: As the architect behind Winfield Racing School’s first internet marketing campaign, he merged his medical precision with digital strategy. The roar of engines met the buzz of pixels.

  • Guiding Graduates: He has mentored American talents, helping them secure their US racing licenses after graduating from Winfield Racing School. His passion lies in nurturing the next generation of speed demons.

  • Team Manager & Racer: Balancing the adrenaline of racing with team management, he has orchestrated 2-3 car teams. Victory on the track and in the pits—it’s a symphony of strategy.

  • Transatlantic Adventures: Across the pond, he managed a US driver in the UK Formula Renault series. The language of speed knows no borders.

  • European Dreams: In 2000, he launched an audacious program—a bridge to Europe for aspiring drivers. The Old World beckoned, and he chased the scent of burnt rubber.

  • Karting Legacy: His son and grandson—karting champions. Their victories echo through club circuits and regional championships. The torch passes from generation to generation.

  • 20 Years of Strategy: Analyzing, planning, and dreaming—his obsession. He has mapped the path for internationally competitive American drivers. The checkered flag awaits.

 

Beyond the Track:

​

  • Precision Engineering: Just as in the OR, he fine-tunes engines and strategies. Every tweak matters.

  • Driver Selection Guru: His mission: unearth raw talent, mold it, and unleash it onto the world stage.

 

Fueling Passion:

​

Whether it’s the smell of race fuel or the thrill of a hairpin turn, his heart races with every lap.
