At the age of 17, Tiffany was involved in a life-altering car crash. After a year recovering from her injuries, during which she had the first 13 of what would lead to 22 facial reconstruction surgeries so far, Tiffany was introduced to stunt driving as a means of confronting and overcoming her trauma. But rather than simply helping her overcome her fears, it instead helped her discover her passions and set her on the journey to a life-long career. Soon she was teaching stunt driving to the film and television industry for a world-renowned stunt driving school and working as a SAG-AFTRA performer stunt driving for feature films and television. 

During her two decades as a professional stunt driver, Tiffany has instructed the U.S. military and law enforcement in evasive driving and corporate security defensive driving. In the private sector, she teaches Class A (18-wheeler) License driving. Tiffany is also a Certified Advanced Stunt Driving instructor, holds a Class A Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) with a Tank Endorsement, is certified in Basic Wild-land Fire-Line Safety, and is a Certified Powertrain Specialist. Oh, and for good measure she spent 2 seasons as a licensed NASCAR Pit Crew Member.

She is the Founder and Chief Stategist of Wreckless Consulting, LLC which covers everything business consulting from inception to dissolution. She can be found running Wreckless Stunt Driving Team & Events, as well as WildfireWorkers.com; a curated online database of wildfire workers where employees and government contractors find each other. 

In addition to her successful career in the automotive and entertainment industries, Tiffany has been a key employee in her family’s business, Advantage Athletics, Inc. where she has held leadership roles in finance and marketing. Her contributions have been instrumental to building the company from start up to what is today, a profitable and growing patented fitness equipment company.

When not working for Advantage Athletics, Tiffany also works with Sage Coaching and Counseling’s spiritual mentoring and grief counseling team providing support to people who are suffering from experiencing traumatic events including life threatening injuries, disfigurements, and major illnesses. She is also in high demand as an inspirational speaker to companies, civic groups and associations where her life story delivers the hope to all that even life’s most threatening events can be overcome.  With Sage, Tiffany continues her passion for business by providing support to emerging companies in finance, marketing and branding.

We are honored to have Tiffany as a part of the Advantage Athletics family. Her intelligence, wit and spirit are an inspiration to us all. She is truly our resident hero.
