Not too many professional snowboarders, or race car drivers, come from the streets of Great Falls, VA.  Tristan Herbert is the only person I know to have owned both those titles along with a few others.  A naturally gifted athlete who always seems to land on his feet, Tristan has used up more than a few of his nine lives on his way to running the US Race Programs for Lamborghini and Audi.  It’s a story full of injuries that changed Tristan’s career path time after time.   Tristan Herbert Show Notes 2:00:  What is Tristan up to at  Audi?  Travel, responsibilities, and everything else. 4:00:  Why Tristan is the ideal candidate to wear the suit for Audi but still understand everything that the race team has been through.  He is also the logo police based on his prior career as a graphic designer. 6:00:  Born in Leesburg and growing up with a charmed life in Great Falls, VA and realizing it was a total bubble to grow up into 8:00:  Taking a year off after high school, riding Mt.
