About

I was born in Southern California, the nucleus of car culture. Having my father’s old 1950 Chevy truck, 1937 Oldsmobile Business Coupe, and partially assembled 1938 Chevy panel delivery probably had some early influence on my career choice, but a move to the manufacturing Midwest and a family that fully supported the arts solidified my future.

Today, I am privileged to be a Design Manager at Ford’s North American studios in Dearborn, Michigan Product Development Center. I’ve been very lucky to be entrusted to work on Ford’s American icon in four model cycles- the 2005 Mustang, the 2010 Mustang and Shelby GT500, the 2012 Boss 302, and the 2013 Mustang freshening. In between I also worked on some various other Lincoln, Mercury and Ford products as detailed in my portfolio.

Thank you for taking your time to browse my site and check out what I’ve done. I hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I did creating it. Drop me a line and let me know what you think.

Cheers, R.
