David Heinemeier Hansson (DHH)

My age, 45, I'm standing here truly enjoying life I brought into this world.

What else is it?

It was so important at this stage that I would otherwise be spending my time on.

What do you love about it?

The funny thing about getting into racing is I did not get my driver's license until I was 25.

I grew up in Copenhagen, Denmark.

where the tax on cars is basically over 200%.

So you pay for three cars and you get one.

And I didn't even have the money for one car, let alone three.

So I could not afford a car growing up.

We did not have a car growing up.

But Copenhagen is a nice city to be able to get around on a bike or with a bus or as I did for a long period of time on rollerblades.

But

When I was 25, I realized I wanted to spend more time in the U.S.

I wasn't sure yet that I was going to move there.

That turned out later to be true.

But I knew that if I wanted to spend time in the U.S., I needed to have a driver's license.

I was not going to get around very well if I didn't know how to drive a car.

So I got a driver's license at 25, then ended up moving to the U.S.

later that year.
