Need for Speed

I’ve had an obsession with speed for as long as I can remember.

From racing ATVs, dirt bikes, go-karts, and anything else with an engine, I was always chasing what was faster. As I got closer to driving age, that obsession turned into cars. Performance cars. Car content. Car culture. It was all I cared about.

On my 16th birthday, I was surprised with a 2006 Dodge Charger V6 with 280k miles. Not fast by any standard, but to me it was everything.

Learning the hard way

I made a few small mods to the Charger before it started having more problems than it was worth. Shortly after, I was handed down my step mom’s Ruby Red 2013 Cadillac ATS.

To me, this was my first real ā€œrace car.ā€ Turbocharged. Nearly 300 horsepower. It’s also when I started learning how to truly care for a car, not just drive it.

Three months later, everything changed.

I was T-boned by a driver who ran a red light. After months of physical therapy, driving wasn’t something I enjoyed anymore. But slowly, I got back behind the wheel.

Chasing the dream car

After graduating, I finally got the car I had always dreamed of... a 2015 Competition Orange Mustang GT.

I built it as fast as I could afford. This car changed everything.

In May of 2020, I posted my first TikTok featuring the Mustang. I was instantly hooked on creating content. The faster the car got, the more people watched. Eventually, I supercharged it and poured everything I had into the build.

That Mustang will always be my favorite car I’ve owned.

Growth and reality checks

As my following grew past 100,000, the Mustang became almost undrivable. I picked up a naturally aspirated Miata, and unexpectedly, my channel took off.

I posted the Mustang for sale out of curiosity and was shocked by the offers. Suddenly, I could afford one of my dream cars: a GT350.

I sold both cars and brought home a 2017 GT350 in mid 2022.

It didn’t take long to realize that some dream cars are better left as dreams.

Finding what actually matters

By late 2022, I sold the GT350 and bought a 2016 Corvette Z06. A car I never imagined owning. I fell in love with it, and so did my audience.

By this point, I had over 300,000 followers and countless brand opportunities. But something didn’t feel right.

I didn’t want to just slap my name on merch.

I didn’t want to push products I didn’t believe in.

I wanted to build something real.

Why Stealth Exists

After conversations with Jon from Blackline, the idea for Stealth was born.

We spent months testing, rejecting, and refining products. Not to chase trends, but to build something I would actually use on my own cars.

Stealth isn’t an influencer brand.

It’s a reflection of everything I’ve learned as a car enthusiast, creator, and obsessive perfectionist.

If it’s in your garage, it’s something I trust in mine.
