My name is Devin O’Connell and I am a professional race car driver from Madison, CT. My passion in life is auto racing and it is important to understand how auto racing has improved the quality of my life and has facilitated a path for me to help others. I know your me is valuable, so I want to capture your a en on right away by telling you I have Asperger Syndrome, which is a form of Au sm. What some people consider to be a disability, I consider to be a different ABILITY. Asperger Syndrome has not stopped me from being one of the winningest drivers in the country, and has given me “gi s” that I like to use to inspire others affected by Au sm.
This proposal is going to give you a snapshot of who I am, what I have accomplished, and where I plan to go. The ambi ous plan that follows does not come together without a lot of hard work and the help from marke ng partners. I have worked hard and con nue to work hard to learn cu ng edge marke ng techniques that can be employed to help your company grow. Partnering with me is not just about pu ng a s cker on the car. I can put my winning a tude to work for you by offering a solid, diversified marke ng plan to expose your company to a broad base of the most brand-loyal of all sports fans.
I want to thank you for taking the me to learn more about me, my racing and the marke ng opportuni es I offer. I look forward to working with you in the near future.
Regards, Devin O’Connell
