Meet Our Dedicated Team
Jake Walsh
Jake was introduced to the world of cars at a young age. Jake spent countless hours in his uncle’s garage fixing cars for friends and family and also restoring classic cars. This gave Jake a true understanding of all things automotive. After he graduated from the University of Illinois, Jake chose a career in the world of IT consulting, but his love of cars remained. When he’s not buying or selling cars, you can usually find Jake at his kids’ hockey or soccer game, on his mountain bike, or tinkering on a vintage car in the garage.
