You’ll find him at car shows throughout the country, and the world, sharing his story, his passion, and his art with the automotive and motorsports industry. Born into an automotive family his father Ben was known as “The Rod Father” and Hot Rod eventually created his own hotrod shop in California, a business he built over 20 years before selling it to focus solely on pinstriping and taking this cool art form to the mainstream public. He is a speaker, a teacher, a mentor and is known as “The Master of the Fine Line.” He has appeared on numerous television shows around the world and been the honored guest at many domestic and international car shows.
