Raised in Pittsburgh, PA, he gained a love of old Yota 4x4s very early. Starting with an old FJ40, continuing with a FJ80 in Australila where he lived and worked for 3 years and now with multiple FJ series as daily drivers in the mountains of Tennessee…...a passion for all things mechanical and an interest in “how does this work” from the start. He loves taking the old diesel dogs and teaching them new turbo tricks. Trusty sidekick Kira is never far from the action!
