MEMBERS OF THE STANG MAG FAMILY ARE MORE PASSIONATE ABOUT FUN AND INCLUSION THAN THEY ARE THEIR CARS AND THAT SAYS A LOT!

For me, being a car enthusiast is an understatement. I’ve always been fascinated with many types of cars, whether it be muscle cars, sports cars, super cars, or off-road vehicles. His fascination started in the late 70s and early 80s with the 1966 George Barris Batmobile and grew with the 1977 Pontiac SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT Trans Am, 1982 GMC FALL GUY K-2500 Sierra Grande Wideside, 1982 Pontiac

KNIGHT RIDER Firebird Trans Am, and the 1982 DMC BACK TO THE FUTURE DMC-12 DeLorean just to name a few. TV/Movie Cars have a special place in my heart and jump started my love for Mustangs.

If you asked me if I thought I’d be writing an article for STANG Magazine for my car this time last year I would’ve said no. If you asked me if I would be writing it about a different car than the 2005 Roush Mustang I had I would’ve said hell no. I loved that car but acquiring this one reinvigorated my passion for car shows and events!

I’ve had many Mustangs throughout the years including two 69s, an 82 GT, a 87 GT, a 07 GT/CS, a 05 Roush GT, and my current car, a 2017 GT just to name a few. Mustangs led me to attending the Carlisle Ford Nationals. After an amazing weekend at the 2021 Carlisle Ford Nationals, I knew that I wanted to be a part of STANG Magazine.

I met Daniel Ramey at a Beltway Mustang show and won my spot with STANG Magazine in their Carlisle Ford Nationals display. Needless to say I wasn’t sure what to expect being that I didn’t know the people attending and was going by myself.

I started attending STANG Magazine’s weekly meetings and slowly started convincing them to let him have a crack at the design in Q4 of 2021. I’m happy to be able to say that I’ve been instrumental in helping STANG Magazine put smiles on fan’s faces ever since

The STANG Mag family welcomed me in from the very start and made me feel like one of their own!

Members of the STANG Mag family are more passionate about fun and inclusion than they are their cars and that says a lot! I can’t wait to see what’s to come in 2022!
