About NAZ

Biography:

Been building and modifying vehicles for over four decades. Started turning wrenches over a half-century ago and learned to weld when I was 12. I’m the kid that never figured out what I wanted to be when I grew up so I kept trying different jobs and going back to school to learn new trades. I’ve had a wide range of careers and experiences. I’ve worked as a Ford mechanic, a nuclear warhead technician in the US Army, a pipe fitter/welder, millwright, machinist, an engineer and an assortment of operations management positions.

I’ve worked in a variety of maintenance fields and have been responsible for wrenching on or managing the maintenance of a wide range of weapons systems and vehicles. My last gig was as a search & rescue pilot and even then I was also the maintenance officer for my squadron. I’ve used these acquired skills over the years to build racecars and hot street cars.

Now retired, I’m spending my time building a FFR 33 Hot Rod. Of course, it’s not the typical build – this one is a one-off mostly scratch built chassis that I plan to drag race as much as drive the streets. Everything from the firewall back is custom fabrication with no FFR items left. This will take a bit longer than the average build.
