asked the AI overlords to write an unhinged bio on me, it was decent lol
John is what happens when you mix a trail boss, a backyard engineer, and a slightly sleep-deprived mad scientist who’s had just enough caffeine to believe, with full conviction, that “yeah… I can turn this into a 6x6.”
He doesn’t just build RC trucks—he summons them into existence through a ritual involving spare parts, questionable decisions, and a firm belief that “more weight up front” is always at least part of the answer. Somewhere in Kentucky woods, there’s a log that still hasn’t emotionally recovered from what he dragged over it.
He operates on a simple philosophy:
He’s the kind of guy who can debate motor KV ratings like it’s a life-or-death issue, then five minutes later be laughing about sending a rig off something it absolutely had no business attempting. Calculated risk meets “send it and see what happens.”
Somewhere between comic nerd, RC addict, and devil’s advocate philosopher, John doesn’t just enjoy the hobby—he lives in it. And if there’s a smarter, easier way to do something, he’ll find it… right after trying the harder, more ridiculous way first just to prove a point.
In short:
If it crawls, climbs, tows, or occasionally cartwheels down a hill… he’s already thinking about how to make it better—and probably heavier.

He operates on a simple philosophy:
- If it breaks, upgrade it.
- If it doesn’t break, it’s probably not being pushed hard enough.
- If it still doesn’t break, add more power until it does.
