About me:
From an early age, my fascination with cars was undeniable. It was a passion that blossomed alongside my childhood, from racing Hot Wheels to meticulously detailing my dad's prized Corvette. Little did I know that this passion would lead me on a journey filled with adventure, service, and a deep appreciation for automotive excellence.
At the age of 18, I made a pivotal decision to enlist in the Marine Corps. Over the course of four years, I served my country with honor and distinction before transitioning to civilian life. Seeking higher education, I pursued my studies at Clemson University, earning my degree as a testament to my dedication and perseverance.
But my journey didn't end there. Embarking on a new chapter, I joined the ranks of the US Government as a Special Agent, where I dedicated over 25 years of my life to service. Throughout my career, I found myself deployed to the heart of conflict zones in the Middle East, including Iraq and Afghanistan, where I served with unwavering commitment and resolve. It was during this time that I honed my skills and leadership abilities, culminating in my graduation from the esteemed Joint Special Operations University Senior Enlisted Academy.
Upon retiring from my distinguished career, I found myself drawn back to my lifelong passion: cars. What began as a weekend hobby soon evolved into a full-fledged endeavor. I delved into the art of detailing with newfound fervor, sparked by the acquisition of my first Porsche, a 996 Carrera 4, in 2011. For me, the thrill of working on and cleaning cars rivals that of driving them. Cars aren't just vehicles; they're works of art, each design element crafted with precision and purpose.
My love for Porsches is undeniable, but my appreciation for all cars knows no bounds. From the timeless beauty of Ferraris to the cutting-edge innovation of Pagani's hypercars, I find inspiration in every make and model.
In December 2023, I took a bold step forward, opening Por4mance Motors and Detail Garage at Autometrics Motorsports. It was an opportunity to merge my passion with a renowned institution in the Porsche Club Racing circuit, and I leaped at the chance. As a one-man shop, I pour my heart and soul into every project, ensuring that each car receives the meticulous care and attention it deserves.
I am married to my beautiful wife, Catrina, and together we have four boys. We recently adopted my brother's son, who is autistc but he is so loving. My other three boys are pretty much grown and about to be independent. For pleasure, we love taking the youngest to Disney World and the beach. As for me, I love motorsports, college football and working out (running, weights, mountain biking, etc.)
So if you find yourself waiting for a response, rest assured that I'm hard at work, doing what I love most—transforming cars into masterpieces, one detail at a time. Your patience is appreciated, and I'll be sure to get back to you as soon as I can.
