Who We Are and Where We Came From.

Dan,CEO

Born and raised in Redmond, WA, Dan grew up like most kids with an influence to play soccer, baseball and skiing. However, it wasn't long until Dan gravitated to more alternative sports like skateboarding, BMX riding, snowboarding, cliff jumping and motorcycle riding. Dan graduated from Washington State University where he majored in Communications and minored in Business. He was a dedicated member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity, met the girl of his dreams and picked up car restoration as a hobby. For the past 12 years Dan has been in high gear. He built a career in motorsports, got married, had 2 kids and has started 2 new businesses with his family and friends.

Nails on the Chalkboard: Waste... all types but especially money!

Jennifer, CMO

 I graduated from Washington State University in Communications in 1999. Went on to manage at the Downtown Seattle Nordstrom, put my degree to use and I worked with an amazing team to market one of the largest financial service firms in the Northwest, Kibble & Prentice. From there, married my best friend, have 2 healthy happy children, did a little of this and a little of that. In 2010, launched 425 Motorsports with a team of people who I adore personally and professionally. To create a company and work with people I believe in and to watch the success and growth of 425 Motorsports everyday is really living the American dream.

Tickled Pink: Watching my sons laugh with each other, putting on a new pair of socks, and the smell of a fresh bouquet of flowers.   

Ian, Sales Executive

For as long as Ian can remember he has been around cars and bikes (the non-pedaling kind) helping his dad and older brother from an age of 5. This early start as a tool fetcher has given Ian a passion for all things mechanical and being told that while your there might as well make it better has been his motto since. While other kids were reading choose your own adventure books Ian was reading up on the latest car magazines and studying a Bentley repair manual. Starting 6 years ago Ian decided to make his passion a career and started working in the performance industry beginning in the motorcycle world. Being a car guy who likes bikes he decided to move to on to working in the automotive performance world and has never looked back since. When he is not at work Ian enjoys running, cross-fit, golfing, skateboarding and anything else you can do that has the potential to get you really injured and as soon as the snow starts falling in the mountains Ian will be found on his snowboard, but he has also been know to drive up to the snow to live out his WRC dreams dressed as the Stig. Ian is our go to guy on technical questions and loves to help with questions on suspension, chassis and motor setups.

Jeff, COO

 Jeff was born and raised in the Redmond area and attended college at The University of Washington where he majored in Economics and lived in a fraternity house lovingly referred to as the Shoebox...Why? Because it looked like a giant shoebox. After narrowly avoiding becoming one of the youngest house presidents ever, Jeff graduated and spent the next 7 years in the Real Estate Industry as a Sales Manager. Constantly thinking of his desire to take over the world with his older brother(Dan), Jeff followed his love of cars to open 425 Motorsports. He is passionate about humor and enjoying the lighter side of life. When not at work you  might find Jeff snowboarding, playing in a team sport like kickball or riding his pet dragon while vanquishing Evil.

 Tickled Pink: Cooking, a good book, giving doggies belly rubs  and of course Art!

Nick, Fabrication Specialist

 Many people had an influence on shaping me into who I am.  Fortunately, Charlie Sheen was not one of them.  The greatest attributes I have inherited are the love for the outdoors and a passion for engine driven machines.  Whether it be four-wheeling the challenging trails of Eastern Washington or riding my Harley cross country, I am constantly seeking adventure. Being raised by car nuts led me to take automotive classes in high school.  From the first turn of the wrench and the first experience with a welder, my career path became clear.  After spending two years at Renton Technical College learning everything I could about metal fabrication, through much persistence, I began my career in the Automotive Fabrication industry.

Nails on the Chalkboard: Visual appearance of the Toyota Prius, carburetors.

Tickled Pink: Tractors, drifting 4x4’s in the snow, doing burn-outs on my Harley.
