John’s story begins on a Sunday afternoon, as a 12-year-old boy, whose uncle took him for a ride in a 1973 Chevy Camaro. His uncle pulled out of the driveway, turned the first corner to the main road and hit the throttle full bore. Little John was instantly hooked! After that, he embraced every opportunity to learn anything and everything he could from his uncle about cars. Their first project together was a 1973 Barracuda for his aunt. He spent every minute he had to spare working, and learning on, that Cuda, until it was complete. The satisfaction he felt from that has driven him all way through his life.
