I can honestly say that I do not remember a single day with out some form of Hot Rod in my life. As a third generation automotive technician, my father Leslie introduced me to Hotrods and Customs before I could walk. I spent most of my youth tagging along with dad as he and his friends scoured the local wrecking yards and built their Hot Rods. I look forward to showing my son Marshall the ropes as he grows up in such an exciting industry.

In high school, I took courses such as mechanical drafting which has proven to be very useful. I graduated with honours in grade 11 and 12 auto mechanics. After High school, I pursued a career in Auto mechanics. I was very fortunate to work with some very skilled Technicians and to have employers who believed in providing some of the finest training available.

I have owned several cars since the age of 14 ranging from mustangs, to old trucks but never was happy until I finally bought my 1966 Pontiac Acadian Canso Sport Deluxe. I spent 5 years restoring it to the condition it is in currently. The car has won many awards including several at Performance World Custom Car Show in Toronto and Super Chevy shows.

After twelve years in the trade, I took on a job that would allow me to build cars full time. In 2003, I met someone who had the same values for quality and excellence as I had. And two years later Jason Rinaldi and I formed Hitman Hotrods Inc. Jason has since moved on but the same commitment to customer satisfaction stands.
