I asked ChatGPT to write my bio without prompts. Here is what they said...
Torsten Gross is a results-driven Fractional Chief Marketing Officer at Aloqia, known for strategic vision and a relentless drive to turn “no” into “yes.” Often called a "Maverick," Torsten’s life has been defined by defying expectations. As a motivational speaker represented by Wasserman and APB, he shares insights from a journey of finding "loopholes" to surpass perceived limitations.
At 15, a diving accident in the Bahamas left him a C6 quadriplegic—a moment he calls transformative. Clinically dead for 2.5 minutes, that day sparked a fire to keep pushing limits. His career includes leadership roles at Deloitte Consulting, J Walter Thompson, BBDO, and R/GA. He’s the star of the Amazon docuseries Just Hands; For the Love of Driving and a competitive race car driver who designs and distributes adaptive race and SIM hand controls. In 2024, he completed 12 marathons in 12 months, including two NYC Marathons and HASPA Hamburg.
In 2021, after a track-day gift from his wife Maggie, he began racing with hand controls in a Porsche GT4 Cayman Clubsport MR. Since then, he’s earned podiums in International GT, SCCA, and the World Racing League. He’s also appeared in Pennzoil commercials and serves as a brand ambassador for Pennzoil, Volkswagen and Mobility Innovations/Veigel.
Torsten is the founder of Just Hands Foundation, introducing adaptive athletes to performance driving and mountain biking. He lives in Sharon, CT, with Maggie and their dog Beau, and continues to inspire others to turn challenges into superpowers.
