The shop for enthusiasts

Gain Stage Garage is a boutique Porsche and Euro specialist shop that I started in late 2024 and is trusted by most discerning and mechanically inclined enthusiasts across the Twin Cities. I saw the need for a shop that my friends and their friends could send their older, performance cars to. that would be in knowledgeable, communicative, and honest hands. Whether it be bringing a family heirloom car back to life for enjoyment and collectability, or building an outright drivers car meant to be driven hard while still maintaining its reliability, I will help you achieve that goal. Throughout the process, I promise you will feel respected and heard at every milestone.

My goal is to also pass along knowledge to the next generation of enthusiasts on how to repair and maintain these vehicles so that their owners feel confident in the car for years to come.

I have been a lifelong car enthusiast working on Porsche and VW’s. Growing up always having a project and experimenting with the limits they had. along with farther that was an engineer/machinist that held the mantra “if you cant buy the part, you need to build it ”.

I got very familiar with getting my hand dirty and getting cars properly working and understanding how to dial them in to the style of drivers they are built for. Over the years I’ve worked on hundreds of cars before transitioning in 2020 from being a top professional in the music industry in LA and Nashville to working under a local independent shop in MN, growing my professional skills before deciding to go out on my own to start Gain Stage Garage!
