And it\u2019s not just seat time, but how he applied the seat time that made the difference, as he shares here. Oh, and we also talk about astronauts and how Michael communicated with them in space, as well as his incredibly varied background.<\/p>\n<p>Michael started track driving less than a year ago, and to say he\u2019s become addicted to it is an understatement &#8211; he\u2019s had about 40 days on track since he began! With a background \u2013 education and experience \u2013 in computer science, human factors, linguistics, genetics, music, molecular biology, color science, photography, business, and teaching, he brings an interesting perspective to learning how to be an even better driver.<\/p>\n<p>Michael has worked for Apple (where he developed the technology for astronauts to email from space); wrote and directed music for Shakespeare Santa Cruz; was made an honorary Air Force Captain; hung out with Carlos Santana and Keith Richards (after helping set up their studios); been a disc jockey for a large classical music station; and he and his wife, Claire, founded <a href=\"http:\/\/www.audiohigh.com\">Audio High<\/a> to help raise money for a number of charities and eventually went on to found a separate non-profit organization (Silver Linings). Pretty boring stuff, right?<\/p>\n<p>Michael\u2019s main business is Audio High (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.audiohigh.com\">AudioHigh.com<\/a>), and you can contact him by email at <a href=\"mailto:Michael@audiohigh.com\">Michael@audiohigh.com<\/a>.
