What was your favorite road trip and why? |
When me and my twin brother drove from LA to Vegas for a concert, and then drove to San Diego the next morning to drive around in exotic cars the entire day, and then drove back to Vegas the next day to watch the Billboard Music Awards live and then drove back to LA that same night. It was a lot of driving but it was jam-packed with entertainment and cars. |
|
What are your top 3 songs you must have on your road trip playlist? |
Drake - Started from the Bottom |
|
Who would you choose as your road trip co-pilot, alive or dead, to join you on the ultimate road trip and why? |
Paul Walker. I idolized him growing up. Paul and the Fast and the Furious franchise played a huge role in getting me into the tuner scene and fuelling my passion to modify cars. I’d love to talk cars with him and get to know him better on a personal level. |
|
What is your favorite vehicle/bike you have owned or built? |
1993 Toyota Supra Turbo - featured at SEMA 2014 and SEMA 2016 |
|
What is the one vehicle/bike you wish you owned? Or what was one you owned and foolishly sold it? |
One vehicle I wish I owned is a Lamborghini Aventador |
|
What fueled your passion and got you into this industry? |
Ever since I was a kid, I was always fascinated with cars. Then when I bought my first car and had the chance to modify it and make it my own, that’s what really fuelled my passion even more. Cars are a great way of expressing yourself and your creativity. Cars you’ve modified are like a piece of art that you’ve created. It’s also great meeting new friends and people in the industry who share the same passion as you. |

Do you have anything coming up between now & SEMA that you would like us to feature? |
My Porsche 911 GT2 Speedster build, my 2020 Toyota Supra, and my Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder |
