About Us:
“My passion for the automobile came from my father. On a cold, crisp night in late November, I distinctly remember my mother telling me to go help my father retrieve groceries out of his old and tired Infiniti once he arrived home from work. When he arrived, even my 10 year old self could tell something was up as I had noticed that my mother began to record. As I opened the garage door, I began to hear the cause of my addiction. To my utter disbelief, I saw my father standing next to his brand new Porsche 911.”

What started the Idea?
The idea behind Automotive Apparel came to me as I sat in my political science course when I was a freshman in college. The idea sprung from a Miami Vice shirt I was wearing at the time, it made me think about how the shirt was made and who designed it. I decided to do some research and discovered that if I combined my passion for cars with the idea of making apparel that I would be able to potentially create a living off of it. I began to spend many restless nights designing T-shirts and finding proper suppliers to meet the high quality criteria that I require for all Automotive Apparel products. Automotive Apparel as a whole, aims to please all of its customers around the globe no matter how large or how small the order may be, and we are always looking to expand our inventory each and everyday. I would like to thank all of our supporting customers for making my dream come true, nothing could’ve been done without it.
The daily. My 2009 Porsche Cayenne GTS with (of course) a six speed manual transmission.
Currently, I own a 2009 Porsche Cayenne GTS w/6 speed manual along with a 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo. Let’s just say that the Cayenne has been staring at the garage walls more than it should.
The 944 that could.
Last but not least, this is my race car, a 1988 BMW 325iS. It is a guaranteed fun drive no matter where you take it.
Along with cars, I have a passion for boating. I have been on the water my whole life and developed an interest for go-fast boats at a young age. This is our current boat, a 2003 Formula 292 Fastech.
Meet Waffles, my 4 year old dachshund who does not like being alone in the passenger seat, rather his favorite spot is one paw on the wheel and one on the shifter.
Here is my 1988 Porsche 944 Turbo (951) that I recently sold, there was quite a story to my ownership with that car.
