McKinlee Riley followed her dad around his auto shop for years, begging to be taught. What began as a love of cars and dirt bikes, has evolved into education, competition, and a real love for absolutely anything that moves with a motor. That love has given her the opportunity to be an ambassador for technical education, judge car shows, film with Bitchin’ Bootcamp and Bitchin’ Rides, as well as compete and win automotive competitions throughout the country! In all her spare time, she’s flipping any kind of rig she can get her hands on. She may be young at 20 years old, but she has trade certificates in welding, mechanics, CDL truck driving, collision repair, and street rod fabrication. She is currently in her last semester at Utah Valley University and in the beginning stages of creating her own automotive shop with the help of her husband, Justin.
