Stout Engineering 

In aspiring to live my life in full it has steadfastly focused on family and friends; and most certainly included my professional, academic, and humanitarian-nonprofit work; adventure, extreme, and endurance athletic pursuits; along with a myriad of various experiments and tests to try out new things. A constant throughout all this, albeit with an ebb-and-flow, has been an interest in the design, modification, and of racing automobiles and motorcycles.
It seems I am now back in a phase of flow. 
I am currently working to overlap my interests and work, a la what I wrote about in my LinkedIn Top Voice article, Building a “Portfolio Career.” That is, in fundraising support of the work of the nonprofit, Center for Global Initiatives, we will be combining its sponsorship, exposure and awareness via the backing by Stout Engineering’s motorsports performance arm, via participation in various events. The Center’s efforts and outcomes are noted in this LinkedIn Top Voice article, Outcomes in Humanitarian Work: A Modest Example of Effectiveness.
To learn more about our motorcycle and automotive project collaborations and partnerships with EuroBahn Dynamics, RM Sotheby’s, Robb Report’s Car of the Year Judging, Blankenship’s, Bayside Auto then get your helmet on and visit Stout Engineering.
