Pete Cline's nonprofit, VetMotorsports, honors and empowers post 9/11 military veterans, with service-related injuries, through racing events. Veterans are embed on professional racing teams or put behind the wheel to race in controlled environments. These experiences gives them something they miss most from their deployment -- the chance to be part of a team and a mission. My journey has not been straight and predictable. It seems that I’m always looking for new experiences and thrive on connecting with people. These relationships have helped me achieve something greater than the sum of it’s individual parts.
