Watching
my father race dirt late models and practically living at the racetracks
during my childhood it is no wonder that I began racing 4 cylinder racecars
on dirt tracks throughout the Carolinas and Georgia at the age of 13.
Not only did Igain knowledge as a driver but also about each and every aspect of racing. Growing up in this environment taught me the importance of having a strong work ethic and paying attention to small and large details.
After
graduating from Easley High School, I was fortunate to attend college
on a basketball scholarship to North Greenville College. Unfortunately
due to a knee injury, my participation in basketball was cut short.
Once I left North Greenville, I started working at my father’s
business, where he was manufacturing and housing race cars. I was responsible
for customer service, implementing marketing strategies and promoting
the business. This opportunity allowed me to use my talents as a marketing
coordinator for a local hospital in Columbia, SC. Even though I have
continued working in the health field, my true love and passion for
racing has led me to create “McCallister Precision Marketing”.
Our goal is to assist racing teams by providing them with quality customer
service and marketing opportunities that will not only allow them to
compete in the fast growing sport of

I
have often wondered,, how many people can say, during their childhood,
they had the opportunity to meet and watch some of the most revered drivers
in NASCAR such as, Cale Yarborough, Richard Petty, Buddy Baker, David
Pearson, The Allison Brothers and Dale Earnhardt? As a young girl growing
up in Darlington South Carolina, I was afforded those opportunities while
working with my dad, during race weekends, at the track respectably labeled,
"Too Tough To Tame”. Because of my early exposure to this incredible
sport I am even more passionate about it as an adult.
Like many children I began playing sports at an early age and continued throughout middle and high school. I also enjoyed hunting and was told, I was “a pretty good shot”. I think my dad was a little partial. I attended Columbia College for two years then decided to pursue a degree in Culinary Arts. After receiving my degree I continued my education and earned an Associate’s Degree in Hospitality Management. I enjoyed nearly 16 years of management within the hospitality industry before becoming a Sales Representative for several corporations. At a transitional period in my life I decided to venture into a business partnership with Tonya McCallister in establishing MPM. I look forward to providing you with the customer service that you and your team so deserve. See you at the track! Jane E. Council |
