Torsten Gross is a maverick by every sense of the word. Not happy with the status quo, mixed with his entrepreneurial drive, Torsten thrives in the challenge of the word “no”. As C6 Quadriplegic since the age of 15, he has heard that word often, yet still finds his way to “yes”. This drive has led him to becoming the worlds only quadriplegic that is a Rescue Scuba Diver, completing 12 marathons in 12 months, and to his latest adventure as a race car driver. In 2023, Torsten competed in International GT, HSR and World Racing League races in his hand-controlled Porsche 981 Cayman. His love of racing landed him in Pennzoil commercials as well as starring in the Amazon Prime TV show Just Hands: For the Love of Racing, a docuseries which follows his journey to becoming a race car driver. Alongside his adrenaline adventures, Torsten has had a successful career as a marketing strategist, currently working as Chief Marketing Officer of MarteriaMX. He is also the co-founder of Just Hands Foundation, a charity which helps hand control drivers get into the world of performance driving. He lives with his wife Maggie and dog Beau, in Sharon, CT.
