  • probie intro - Mike - SoCal

    Hello everyone!,

    My name is Michael. Born and raised in LA and the IE. Like most of you I've been into cars and the automotive industry since I was a young tot. My grandfather was a race car mechanic and later worked on hot rods at Blair's Speed shop in Pasadena back in the day. I'm not entirely convinced his skills were passed down to me but I do my best. I attended an Arts/Business based high school where I met my girlfriend Lizzie--Although it took 6 years till we started dating-- She's really supported my dreams and rekindled my passion for cars, without her I would not have a project car right now. Literally, 'cause she bought me a 240sx for our anniversary.
    After high school I started up at community college and after a year It really felt like a waste of my time. I also really didn't know what I wanted to do. All the men in my family have been entrepreneurs My dad, my uncles, my grandpa, all owned their own business. So I started a Hydro test shop with my dad in Burbank and started running it. Sold that business-- now I currently run the Disneyland/Orange County accounts for his main business Safgas Systems Inc. I've also decided to buckle down and go back to school for automotive design.

    2) Why did you choose Team Hybrid?

    I Chose team Hybrid for a couple reasons.

    The family environment, When I went to that first meeting with Lizzie everyone was very friendly and welcoming even though they were just meeting us, It was really like we were family already. It really shows how tight the Hybrid family is.
    Professionalism, It's really nice to be around like minded people who can joke around but at the same time hold an intelligent conversation or give criticism and Ideas on builds or just life in general.
    Knowledge. I want to be the best at what I do, I want to learn from the leaders and my peers alike. with so much history from team hybrid there's no other team that comes close, If you can't beat them join them right?

    3) Why should Team Hybrid choose you?
    I feel like my goals, aspirations and work ethic align well with team hybrid. I know what it means to be part of a team. I know when to take orders and when to lead, and at the end of the day I know its not about me and my build but the Team as a whole. I want to be apart of something bigger than me, I don't just want sponsors and internet fame I want to be apart of bringing this team even higher than it is now
