Best known as a key member of the Gas Monkey Garage crew, prominently showcased on the Discovery Channel’s Fast N’ Loud, he built his reputation as a self-taught mechanic with a passion for tinkering. From a young age, he was the type to take apart anything mechanical just to figure out how it worked—and then put it back together again. In 2017, he made the decision to leave Gas Monkey Garage, marking a major turning point in his career.
Before all the fame and television appearances, his path crossed with Richard Ray Rawlings—his future business partner—when Richard walked into the local car shop where he was working. It was that chance meeting that helped set the stage for what would come next. Hailing from Crowley, Texas, he has always maintained a strong connection to his roots. In 2015, he started dating Lauren Moore, adding a personal chapter to his public journey.
He took part in a high-energy motorcycle build-off at Orange County Choppers, where his craftsmanship really stood out. Although he didn’t take the top spot, he managed to secure an impressive second-place finish. His dedication and skill throughout the competition showed just how much he brings to the table. All in all, his performance at Orange County Choppers was a solid achievement, especially considering the tough competition. He definitely made a name for himself during that event.
