David Alessi

HVAC estimator/install dept supervisor by trade. Have been an avid F1 fan since the late 90s. I drive a 97 Honda Prelude Improved Touring car, and have been involved with SCCA HPDE program for just shy of 10 years. Starting this year I will be racing that car in the WDCR region's Mid Atlantic Road Racing Series. I reside in Virginia and my home track is Summit Point Motorsports Park in West Virginia. About a year ago, my brother, and co-host, turned me on to the wonders of bourbon, and it has been a deep dark hole ever since of hunting, buying, sipping, and learning! After years of listening to F1 Podcasts, all of which have been European based, we decided it was time for an American one, and so, Podium Proof was born!

I have been a sports fan for as long as I can remember. I fell in love with F1 in the mid 90s when my dad was ecstatic that Michael Schumacher was joining Ferrari. I couldn't get enough of it, but there were few places here in the U.S. that you could find any coverage outside of the race.  I hope to bring more perspective from a true fan of the sport. I live in Louisiana and am an Outside Salesman for Sunbelt Rentals. It is my hope that this podcast can bring some entertainment to everyone here in the States who is starved for more F1. Whiskey has been an interest of mine for most of my adult life, but only about 4 or 5 years ago I started collecting and really diving into learning about the product and the history of it. It has been and amazing journey thus far and the hunt is as fun as the sharing of it with great friends!
