My first car was a 1968 Ford Torino GT  fastback with a 4-speed.  Little did I know at the age of 15 that my first car would fuel my desire Nearly 30 years later to become the third owner of arguably the single largest collection of Ford Torino, Ranchero and Fairlane parts under one roof.

My interest for cars at a young age grew my desire to learn, tinker, restore and consume all things automotive.  I credit my Dad with planting that seed in me from his experiences and stories.  My business background is formerly in business administration in marketing and I spent much of my corporate career in that field while intuitively knowing and working as a hobby where the passion of my soul rested.  Growing up I learned to use my hands and creative mind early on.  As I grew older, I learned to build, weld and paint as well as operating various kinds of moving machines.  I discovered I had a natural acumen for mechanical things.  There were many times you could find my cousins and myself working in the barn working late on a car project to build a motor or get a body ready for paint.  

Fast forward 30 plus years and many years of marketing, hobby building and business ownership to the point at which preparedness and opportunity met and I got to buy this business and work to move it into the next phase of growth.  Nearly everyone in my immediate family as well as close friends have helped in a role in the continued success of this niche parts business to serve the hobbyist around the globe.
