My Journey in Automotive Excellence
I’ve always believed that people have callings — a natural gift or knack for what they’re meant to do. For me, that calling has always been automotive mechanics, particularly working on high-performance exotic cars like Maserati, Ferrari, and Lamborghini.
Growing up, my brother and I had constant access to my father’s tools. He is a Master Tractor Trailer Mechanic, and from him, I inherited a passion and talent for mechanical work. From the age of 15, my brother and I were taking engines apart and putting them back together — long before the internet made learning easy. We learned by doing, mastering everything from clutches and spark plugs to engine and transmission rebuilds.
Early Achievements and Skills
-
Graduated high school with honors in 11th grade
-
Scored 99% on the Army ASVAB for mechanical aptitude
-
Applied to the National Aviation Academy, scoring 94% on entrance exams
These achievements reflect a combination of natural mechanical ability and disciplined study, which I’ve carried into my work with exotic automobiles.
My Experience with Exotic Cars
My first exotic was a 2002 Maserati Spyder. Within a year, I had personally replaced the F1 clutch and actuator — a challenging job even for experienced technicians. Since then, I’ve owned and serviced multiple exotic vehicles, including a 2004 Lamborghini Gallardo Stage 3 Twin Turbo pushing 837hp to the wheels, along with a range of Maseratis, Ferraris, and other high-performance vehicles.
I specialize in F1 and E-Gear systems, some of the most complex hydraulic-electric gearboxes in the automotive world, installed in Maserati, Ferrari, and Lamborghini models. My expertise includes:
-
Clutch and actuator replacements
-
Calibration of advanced gear systems
-
Engine and transmission diagnostics
-
High-performance tuning and upgrades
I’ve consulted for enthusiasts and shops around the globe, from the U.S. to Taiwan, Russia, Australia, Brazil, and the U.K., helping them understand and maintain these sophisticated vehicles.
ASE Certification – Why It Matters

ASE certification is not just a test — it requires real-world expertise, hands-on experience, and mastery of complex automotive systems. These credentials ensure that I provide precision, reliability, and trustworthiness when servicing your high-value exotic vehicles.
Professional Philosophy
Working on exotic cars is not just a job — it’s a craft. I approach every vehicle with meticulous attention to detail, reverse-engineering problems when necessary, and delivering solutions that exceed industry standards.
I’ve seen firsthand how even dealerships or high-end shops can misdiagnose problems in exotic vehicles. My goal is to provide transparent, accurate, and dependable service, helping owners avoid costly mistakes and maintain the longevity of their investments.
Court-Tested Expertise
Beyond mechanical work, I’ve also been sworn in as an expert witness in Massachusetts courts. My testimony has helped clients in pre-purchase inspections, mechanical disputes, and exotic vehicle evaluations, further underscoring my expertise and credibility in the field.
