Tom Hintz retired from his personal involvement in stock car racing to become a staff writer and webmaster for Stock Car Racing and Open Wheel Magazines and staff editor for Circle Track Magazine all the while enjoying his lifelong hobby - woodworking. Later he began SPEEDWORDS, a marketing firm offering web development, writing and photography services for the racing business community. Known for his straightforward style of writing, Tom created one of the top online websites for woodworkers, NewWoodworker.com, that draws more than 150,000 visitors each month. Tom says these woodworkers log onto NewWoodworker.com "because they know the most effective safety tool is a well-informed brain." Tom Hintz lives in Concord, North Carolina.
