I am the creator of Ruby on Rails, a partner at 37signals, a NYT best-selling author, a public speaker, a hobbyist photographer, and a race car driver.

So what's next? Sticking with it. I want 37signals to be one of the great software companies of the next 20 years. Ruby on Rails has been around since 2003, and I foresee a prosperous 20+ year run for it as well. If you want to change the world, you have to stick with it.

As for car racing, I'm intent on taking my passion for motorsport to the next level. The ultimate goal is to race at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. I hope to be on the grid in 2013.
