Born in Toronto, David Deacon left his studies in philosophy at St. Catharines, Ont.’s Brock University to pursue creative arts in Paris. While he found his skills improved in both writing and visual arts, when he returned to Canada he struggled to make a living. No matter, he got another itch: motorcycle racing. But one day, on a practice run for motorcross outside Ottawa, he had a massive crash. So he quit racing bikes, and a couple years later he started racing cars.

At one point, he was general manager of the Porsche division of Volkswagen Canada Inc. and founder of the Rothmans Porsche Challenge Cup Series (1986-1991). He and his brother started Azure Dynamics Corp., a very early developer of hybrid electric technology. He also got hired to turn around Semcan Inc., an environmental solutions company.

David is a true example of following your calling, no matter the risks.

He’s a singer-songwriter, poet, former champion racecar driver, painter, entrepreneur, and an example of how to live life, really live it. Now in his 70s, David Deacon just released his fifth album, Good Day Good Night (due Oct. 6), is a collection of stories that reflect on the crashes and burns and dust-yourself-off recoveries we all experience to varying degrees.

Through this interview, Life in Kind would love to showcase David's driven motive to keep living and make every turn in life a great turn.
