 My dad was a very hard-working guy. He worked for the same company for 37 years and then two years after he retired, he passed away. That kind of showed me, like, life is short and if you don't do what you're passionate about, things can get past you. My name is Matt Bell and I'm the founder of the shop clubs. The first memory I have of cars is playing with my little matchbox cars when I was a kid and watching TV shows about cars like Dukes of Hazard and Knight Rider and the Fall Guy. I was actually working on a car in my garage as a hobby in my spare time and I just thought it would be really neat if there was a place I could go to where they had lifts and tools and maybe people that teach me how to do what I was doing because I had no idea and a place that I could share. That was the day I came up with the idea of the shop. We call this place the Country Club for Gear Heads. You can park your cars here. You can work on your cars. We have a driving simulator machine. We have a cigar lounge. We have conference rooms. We have work space. We have a bar and restaurants open to public. You really never know what you're going to get here and actually that's kind of the excitement of the place is that it's different every day. People, they walk in the front door and their eyes kind of light up and the next question is are these your cars? Which I would love to say yes to but unfortunately there's no way these are all my cars. My background is probably not traditional for getting into this business. I come from the background of software. You don't get to see that firsthand reaction of people when they're using the stuff that I've worked with in the past. And here it's very visceral and people are involved or are part of the shop because they're really passionate about the subject matter. There are a lot of car-related businesses out there that are only for a certain market. Real high-end, real expensive. One thing that I'm really proud of and that I really love about this place is that you'll see a Bentley parked next to a Volkswagen. This is a place that welcomes everyone and people can gather. We want to continue to build the community here and not just in one city but in multiple cities so that we can have a bigger network. You know, you pour everything into this and failure isn't an option so then you succeed.
