After spending 30+ years as a writer/creative director in the advertising world, I now am "mostly" retired, but occasionally take on projects that I find interesting. One lasting project involves Gray Leadbetter, an aspiring professional driver that I met with her dad, Steve, back in 2019 when Gray was just 14 years old. As a former racing driver myself, I was intrigued by the opportunity to help Gray and her dad with her career. Since that time, I have been helping with marketing decks, writing press releases and providing what guidance I can from my own motorsports and advertising experience. I am paid for some of the work, but not all. Helping her create a Wikipedia page is not a paid assignment. Steve asked me to help create a Wikipedia page because I am familiar with every aspect of her career. In fact, I could never charge for the immense amount of time I have invested in navigating the Wikipedia process! Helping Gray and her dad is a way for me to stay involved in the racing world. I also do mild edits on Wikipedia pages from time to time and make small financial donations to help support Wikipedia.
