I’ve been into machines for as long as I can remember. Dirt bikes, bicycles, cars, anything with wheels and something mechanical to obsess over. It usually meant grease under my fingernails, cuts on my hands, and taking things apart just to understand how they worked.

By 32, I had owned over 13 cars and 4 motorcycles, each one shaping the way I looked at performance, design, and function. A 1993 Nissan 240SX Coupe, Focus ST, Toyota Tacoma, Ranger Raptor, BMW M340i xDrive, FD Mazda RX-7, NA Miata, ND2 Miata, and plenty more along the way. Some were daily drivers, some were projects, and some were just cars I couldn’t stop thinking about. They all taught me something.

That same obsession carried over into bikes and powersports. I grew up around two wheels, and in 2018 I got more serious about mountain biking. What started as weekend rides turned into a deeper interest in the parts, setup, and small details that make a machine feel right.

In 2024, I started Atlus out of my home office. Parts were coming in from overseas and getting stacked wherever I had room. Orders were packed at my desk and dropped off at the post office every day. It was small, a little chaotic, and built through a lot of trial, error, and late nights.

Atlus Auto is an extension of that same mindset. It exists for people who care about their vehicles beyond basic transportation. The people who notice fitment, materials, finish, function, and whether a part actually makes sense. It’s built by someone who has owned the cars, worked on the cars, ridden the bikes, and still believes the best products come from real experience.
