Collin learned about muscle cars and drag racing from his family. His grandfather raced and crewed on just about anything you can think of and both of his parents grew up drag racing and met at the racetrack.

He also worked at his family’s hot rod shop growing up in northern California since he was a kid and took it over in college as his part-time job doing basic hot rod work and fabrication until 2022.

Collin is a classic muscle car guy; he grew up doing a little of everything from welding to wiring. But he is particularly adept with wiring, chassis and fabrication, and engine building.

In 2022, he earned his associate degree in journalism from American River College.

Collin is a member of Team Sacramento (Drag Racing Team for NHRA ET Finals) and is a Licensed NHRA Competition Driver.

Collin is a contributing outside author of the Toolbox. Check out more of Collin’s work:
