Who is Wade Thiel?

I’m a storyteller by nature, a copywriter, journalist, blogger, and marketer by choice. I get my kicks reading novels and short stories. If you have a good book recommendation, I’ll read it. I love cars, motorcycles, gear, tools, and gadgets. I want to work with companies, organizations, and individuals with similar interests and passions.
