DREAM JOBS: HOW TO MAKE A LIVING DOING WHAT YOU LOVE (10/20/10)

JOHN ANDERSON
QTM MARKETING DIRECTOR

STARTING POINT : “I was a racer, cleaning pools and doing different jobs before I got started as a delivery driver for White Brothers in 1985. I spent 20 years at White Brothers before accepting an offer to work for QTM and develop their offroad and supermoto market. My wife works here, too, so it’s been great.”

THE JOB : “QTM isn’t a large company, and I get to do a little bit of everything. I spend time interacting with all the race teams, approaching magazines, visiting dealers, going to trade shows and even taking sales calls day to day. It involves a lot of weekends and a lot of travel and time away from home, but it’s fun to be around motorcycles. I’ve had the opportunity to go flying with Bob Hannah, ride with Malcolm Smith and work with factory race teams.”
