About Mike Stephens
There's never been a time I wasn't fascinated with cars, including my childhood days. While my kindergarten peers were doodling kittens and bunny rabbits in the early seventies, I recall my tablet filling up with penciled drawings of sheet metal with wheels! Although writing posts for Barn Finds is by far my favorite past time, I also enjoy collecting old vinyl record albums, home improvement projects, hiking, and tinkering around with just about anything electrical or mechanical. I like to spend lots of time with my beautiful wife and our Yorkie as well- my wife's name is Joy and my dog is named Happy, so I'm truly blessed with a wonderful life here in Tennessee!
