Sacha (he/him) is a born tinkerer and has been nicknamed MacGuyer by his family.  He can fix anything and if it has wheels (whether it be two or four), he’ll race it!  He has worked in the automotive industry for over 20 years with brands such as Lexus, Honda, and Volvo.  More than one service technician has been shocked when he rolls up his business button-down sleeves and ventures under a car to help troubleshoot issues alongside them.  

When he’s not working in the automotive world, he’s recreating in the automotive world.  Sacha owns a Honda S2000 that he has fully modified to track standards for autocross racing.  He’s raced in the national championship five times.  Sacha also races hobby grade RC cars which are capable of top speeds in excess of 70MPH!
