Anthony Wrixon has always been passionate about automobiles. It started as a young boy who loved to build model cars and enter them in model car shows with his friends. He couldn't wait until he was able to purchace his first car and build it from the ground up. With influence from his father he was able to start his passion and take pride in this endeavor.

He started his technical career at Diamond Bar Honda as an entry level technician. There he worked his way up the ranks and developed a passion for import and domestic cars.
