Where It All Started

Before GGS Motorsports, before race cars, before any of this felt like something real—it started in the back of my dad’s furniture factory.

Not a shop. Not a garage built for cars. Just whatever space we could carve out between equipment, tools, and stacks of materials. It wasn’t clean, it wasn’t organized, and it definitely wasn’t ideal. But it was ours.

That’s where I started working on Volkswagens.

Not because it was a business plan or part of some bigger vision—but because I liked them, and I wanted to learn. So I spent weekends and whatever spare time I had out there, figuring things out as I went.

There was no roadmap.

Just trial and error.
A lot of broken bolts. A lot of second guesses. And a lot of moments where something finally worked and you couldn’t wipe the smile off your face. It wasn’t pretty, but that was the point.

The Cars Were Just the Start

Looking back, the cars were almost secondary.

What really came out of that time were the people.

Friends who would stop by to help, hang out, or just see what was going on. Some knew what they were doing, most didn’t—but that didn’t matter. Everyone brought something, even if it was just showing up and being part of it.

Those weekends turned into something bigger than just working on cars. They became a place where friendships were built, tested and grew over time.

You learn a lot about people when things aren’t going smoothly, when a job takes twice (or five times) as long as it should, or something goes wrong and you have to figure it out together. That’s where the real connections came from.

No Blueprint, Just Passion

There was never a moment where I said, “this is going to turn into something.”

At the time, it was just what I enjoyed doing. Working with my hands. Learning something new every time.
Spending time with people who were just as into it as I was.No pressure. No expectations. Just showing up and putting in the time.

Still a Part of It Today

Even now, as things have grown and GGS Motorsports has taken shape, that same feeling is still at the core of everything.

It’s not just about the cars. It never was.

It’s about the experience, the people you meet along the way, and the shared moments that come from doing something you genuinely care about.

That’s what started in the back of that factory -and that’s what I’m still building today.
