Wes began his life in the shop at a young age, following his dad around as he meticulously restored a ’57 Chevy Bel Air, an old Chris Craft, a tweaked a 1962 Corvette, or developed one of many gearhead dream projects. Wes’ grandfather’s electronics lab was the stuff of science fiction. Thanks to him, Wes became comfortable with the oscilloscopes and meters that make life with the British cars and bikes he loves possible today.

Wes’ first position in a shop was at a small independent outfit, and formal training at a local college soon followed. Since then he has worked at shops servicing everything from motorcycles to semi tractors. After building several high-horsepower sports cars and never being happy with the handling, Wes bought his first 911 and was hooked on Porsche from the first drive. For five years he operated Underground Autosport, with a focus on building, restoring, and maintaining European autos.
