Press Room - Media The original effort Bob Green started “Crashing is a Bummer” in 1997 as an independent contractor/consultant with the Skip Barber Driving School as a community service for local schools in Northwest Connecticut. Several of these developed into full day, kinetic driving programs that Housatonic Valley Regional High School, Shepaug Valley Regional High School (Connecticut) and the Menlo School (California) continue to do as driver educational “class trips”. Along these lines, Bob pursued a grant sponsored, university graduate school program, and earned a certificate as an ADTSEA (American Driver and Traffic Safety Educational Association) instructor-trainer. Further academic efforts included publishing articles and papers in academic and technical journals, and presentations at universities, museums and technical conferences (SAE, ADTSEA, ISATA). Although the project was later scrapped due to business concerns, scripting and location filming was underway for a nationally distributed educational package. Bob independently renamed and redesigned the presentations and continued working with local school systems. The Connecticut Valley Region, Porsche Club of America continues to contribute substantial program sponsorship and individual high schools, local Rotary, Lions, Exchange Clubs and United Way community service organizations sponsored others. 2000 – present This expanded the offerings to additional communities, evening adult education, industry and professional conferences. Bob served on two national advisory committees in Washington, D.C. (NHTSA and AAA). The reach expanded to additional high schools, community forums, hospitals, fire companies, police and emergency services, as well as companies offering safety workshops to their employees. Bob has high visibility in print and broadcast media, making customized presentations to Boy Scouts, student drivers, elderly drivers, engineering professionals, 100,000+ high school students and the students and guests of the Skip Barber Racing and Driving Schools (17 yrs.).
