MOTORIOT’
It started with a road trip, a truck, another, and a story that wouldn’t let go.
In 2022, my friend Jason and I started MOTORIOT. What began with chasing down vintage 4x4s across backroads and border towns has become a full operation with teams in Madrid, Spain; Pereira, Colombia; and Kent, Connecticut. We source, build, and restore classic trucks—mostly old Land Rovers—for clients across the U.S.
Each vehicle starts somewhere different. A mountain road in the Pyrenees. A forgotten farm in the Colombian coffee region. A dusty garage in New England. Wherever they come from, we bring them back with care—and upgrade them with the kind of performance that makes them a joy to actually drive.
Since launching, we’ve grown into creative projects and a small gear line, but the focus remains the same: find something real. Build it right. And let the story keep going.
I, Arcana
I set off to design and build a tiny home hidden in a forgotten New York City back alley — a place where most people would never think to look.
The result was something rare: a secret home woven into the fabric of the city, both hidden and in plain sight. YouTube personality Cash Jordan stopped by to document it.
The Alderman
In March 2020, just before the COVID lockdowns began, I moved into a run-down 19th-century townhouse in Brooklyn. Over the next few months, I worked with my friends to renovate and furnish the space. One unit became my home, and the other was set up as a short-term rental for visiting creatives.
The Drums
I got a Film/TV degree from NYU and then immediately stopped working in film and TV. Instead, I ended up playing guitar for The Drums and touring nonstop. Later, I lived on a bus managing tours for Ralphie May. Now I jump back in when needed—on stage or behind the scenes.
Recovery
It took a full collapse—and total surrender—before recovery became real for me. The process rebuilt how I live, how I work, and how I lead. That framework still guides everything I do.
