About Dusty Travis

Cars have always been a huge part of my life. My dad was a mechanic, my father-in-law was a mechanic, and I worked as a mechanic for the first 10 years of my career, working as a machinist and bench mechanic for a custom transaxle shop (I know, very specific!). Now, my son has majorly caught the bug, and we spend our time bench racing and working on our jalopies.
