His love for cars began at the young age of 9 years old while swapping out his first car engine alongside his father and grew over the years as he established his own collection of vehicles.

Through the years, he made many friends, life-long friends, friends that became family. His legacy will live in the hearts and minds of everyone he interacted with as well as those he touched but never met.
