FOUNDER

I think I have always been interested in cars and all things mechanical. My father tells me that even when I was a very young child my eyes would light up when I was around cars.

When I was around eight, we lived just outside of Washington, D.C., and I remember my older brother Charles coming home to visit. Each time he arrived he had a different car, from an Austin Healey, to an MG, to a Rolls Royce, Bentleys and almost anything you can imagine that was British made. He made a living purchasing them, restoring them and then reselling. From that time on I’ve loved of all things British… In my past I’ve owned several MG’s, Triumphs and Land Rovers. I enjoy the the preservation of the vehicles and the challenge of the restoration, especially Land Rovers.

Secret Car Club was a dream that became reality, and our members meet and share our cars and lives every week at Fairbanks Country Club in Rancho Santa Fe.

After several years of exclusive SCC get togethers, I decided to create events for the public — the idea of Secret Car Club Events had been brewing. I knew there was a need for an event company that could and would cater to auto, aircraft and nautical enthusiasts. Friends and colleagues I spoke with tended to agree.

More importantly, what people wanted most was a positive, friendly, social atmosphere — the same atmosphere that has made Secret Car Club so successful. I knew I could fill that need, and Secret Car Club Events was born.

So, why do I do this? The simple short answer is because it makes people happy. Our events create an opportunity for people to experience things that they may never have the opportunity to experience. Individual events can include vintage cars, boats and aircraft, food, camaraderie and community and introducing these experiences to another generation. Each event is uniquely different, a chance to meet new people, and have a new experience each time you join us.

Secret Car Club is an all inclusive community of genuine car aficionados that come from all walks of life — as long as you are a true car fan, you are welcome.
