Vehicle Video
I grew up around motorsports, watching my Great Uncle, drag racing legend Dyno Don Nicholson innovate racing technology and win championships. I have always been a student of the automotive aftermarket, with my nose in a Hot Rod magazine or Edelbrock catalog for as long as I can remember. After graduating from college, I worked for Meguiar's car care for almost ten years before leaving to start Elevate- Volvo Performance / Styling (www.elevatecars.com) in 2003. My work at Elevate allows me to combine my knowledge of making a car go faster, stop harder and turn better with marketing and sales experience. I enjoy all forms of motorsport, although I am partial to F1 and IndyCar. I am fortunate to serve on the Benedict Castle Concours committee.
