Hot Wheels Diecast Vehicles @designspeed744
I’ve been drawing for most of my life, but one could say that a Mattel toy, the Vac-U-Form, played a
role, in shaping my career path. My Dad showed me how to carve accurate wood forms of scale racing
cars, that could then be turned into slot car bodies using the Vac-U-Form. As I pursued my path
through school and college to Car Design, I’ve continued to be inspired by the forms and shapes of
racing cars. After brief stints in full-size automobile and motorcycle design studios, I found myself at
Mattel and working on toy cars again.
Along the way I’ve dabbled in motorsport. I’ve auto-crossed, raced on the road in Mexico, flung a go-
kart around a dirt track, fallen off a motorcycle at Willow Springs, slid around a frozen
lake in Michigan and participated in driving experiences and schools at Pomona, Laguna Seca,
Riverside and Irwindale. I’ve concluded that I’m more of a motorsports fan, than a dyed-in-the-wool racer.
This year will be my 36th year at Mattel, God willing. I know the Dinner Car has the #35 on it, but that’s
production deadlines for you. A big Thank You to the Collector community for your ongoing support
through the years!
