A lifetime spent racing, building, and pushing machines to their limits.

Racing Roots & Early Years

Tim didn’t grow into motorsports — he was born into it.

Raised in a family deeply involved in drag racing, motocross, hot rods, custom cars, and restorations, Tim grew up at racetracks and in garages. Performance was a constant, and mechanical curiosity was encouraged from day one.

By the ages of 10 and 11, Tim was already competing — racing karts and winning two championships. As he got older, that competitive drive evolved into building cars and motorcycles for the drag strip. Throughout high school and beyond, weekly drag racing wasn’t an event — it was a ritual.

Military Discipline & High-Risk Operations

After high school, Tim joined the U.S. Navy, serving as an Aviation Rescue Swimmer and SH-60 helicopter crewman.

Operating in high-risk environments, Tim learned the importance of discipline, precision, accountability, and systems-level thinking — where failure isn’t an option and performance under pressure matters most.

During his military service, his passion for motorcycles intensified. Street riding turned into building faster, more aggressive machines — pushing both mechanical limits and riding skill.

Industrial Fabrication & Nuclear-Grade Precision

Following military service, Tim spent four years in the industrial sector as a machinist and welder, fabricating high-end industrial components and applying advanced wear-control solutions across heavy industry.

His work included welding critical stainless and specialty components for the Hanford Nuclear Site and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory — environments demanding extreme precision, traceability, and zero tolerance for error.

This period sharpened Tim’s attention to detail and reinforced a mindset where quality and execution are non-negotiable.

Oil & Gas: Performance Under Extreme Pressure

Tim then spent 10 years in the oil and gas industry as a directional driller, traveling nationwide from Texas to Alaska and everywhere in between.

He executed complex drilling operations while running some of the most advanced and expensive downhole tools in the industry, working under extreme operational pressure to meet critical timelines and targets for major operators including ConocoPhillips and BP.

His final years were spent drilling highly complex wells on Alaska’s North Slope, north of the Arctic Circle — some of the most demanding operating environments in North America.

Motorsports at a Professional Level

While working in the oilfield, Tim simultaneously advanced his racing career.

He progressed from club racing to regional and national competition, earning his AMA Supersport Pro license and racing at a high level in road racing, Supermoto, and motocross.

This is where Tim truly lived out of his van — building it not as a product, but as a purpose-built support vehicle for racing, travel, and a relentless, adrenaline-driven lifestyle.

The Birth of Adrenaline HQ

In 2020, after returning from the Arctic and leaving the oilfield, Tim committed fully to building Adrenaline HQ.

The shop is the culmination of everything he learned across decades of experience — racing culture, industrial fabrication, military discipline, extreme-pressure operations, and professional motorsports — all focused on one goal:

Building and supporting vehicles that perform when it matters most.

Life Today: Still Pushing Limits

Today, Tim lives and breathes mechanical performance.

His passions include motorcycle racing, backcountry mountain snowmobiling, desert racing on two and four wheels, and constant experimentation with high-performance vehicles.

In 2025, Tim completed the NORRA 1000, and in 2026, he plans to race the Baja 1000 — one of the most demanding endurance races in the world.

Why Adrenaline HQ Exists

Adrenaline HQ isn’t built on trends or marketing — it’s built on lived experience.

Every build, upgrade, and service reflects a lifetime spent in environments where machines are pushed hard, systems are tested relentlessly, and reliability isn’t optional.

Built by experience. Proven under pressure.
