Expertise & guidance
I’m a familiar face to many in the world of the Land Rover Defender. For over thirty years, I’ve lived and breathed 4×4 driving—from technically challenging terrain to tough off-road expeditions around the globe.
For the past twenty years, I’ve worked full-time as an independent, specialized Defender mechanic, in the broadest sense of the word. From maintenance and diagnostics to complete restorations: my work has always revolved around craftsmanship, quality, and preserving the iconic Defender character.
In 2025, I decided to change course. Time for new challenges, new adventures, and a new way to share my knowledge. Travel is my greatest passion, and I now enjoy sharing that experience with my clients—in a professional, careful, and above all, personal way.
When I’m not on the road, you’ll find me in my garage. There I work on restoration projects for clients who share the same love for the brand. After all, the well-known Land Rover virus never leaves you.
With my background, experience, and passion, I offer a unique combination of expertise, adventure, and commitment. That’s who I am—and what I’d like to share with you.
