INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE
If you do something you enjoy, you’ll never work a day in your life. –Henry Ford
CAREER & LIFE CHALLENGES
We’ve had many engineering challenges while trying to convert cars to electric. These problems come up all the time. Each one that is solved makes us go home with smiles on our faces.
FIRST SPECIAL VEHICLE
My first special car was a 1973 Mercury Capri.
BEST AUTOMOTIVE ADVICE
The best automotive advice I received was, “Don’t lift!”
RECOMMENDED RESOURCE
We buy a lot of our cars off of the insurance auctions. They’re a great resource for buying cars deemed to no longer have a useful life in their current chassis, and then you can transform them.
RECOMMENDED BOOK
The Limit, by Michael Cannell
The Man in the White Suit, by Ben Collins
PARTING WORDS OF ADVICE
In the big picture, electrification is going to change the car industry more quickly than people realize. We use solar power for our cars. This helps to lessen the heavy toll on the environment.
