Meet the Crew

Ryan

Ryan is the founder of KG Performance, and the big boss. He got his start in the turbo Honda game and decided to open a shop instead of working on his car in other people’s garages. With a small Craftsman box, in 2013 KG Performance began. Ryan currently has an LS2 swapped Honda S2000, a bagged, flame throwing C30 and the RV converted “Braap” bus as his personal projects. The Integra that started it all is still in his possession and could be making a return to the drag strip at some point.

Meet the Crew

Jenna


With a Master’s degree in Business, Jenna is more than qualified for her position in the business. From the day to day logistics to our event planning and marketing, Jenna handles all aspects of the back office. She didn’t leave her new BMW X3 stock for long, upgrading the brakes and having the powder coating boys coat her wheels and calipers. A blacked out grill and new center caps finish out the first round of modifications. If you stop by, you will find her ready to help with a smile.

Meet the Crew

Paul


Paul also known as the "beard of knowledge" is the lead tech and fabricator at our performance facility. With over 20 years of experience he is the key asset to our operation. Paul currently has an LS powered RX7 FC along with an LS powered Jeep Comanche. You will find Paul mainly driving his daily turbo diesel Mercedes rolling coal with a canoe on top. If you run into Paul at the shop, make sure to ask him about his other intriguing hobbies.

Meet the Crew

Owen


Owen is a veteran member of our repair crew, but has since transitioned to working on more of the Performance jobs that come to the shop. His beard, positive attitude, and willingness to work on anything make him an instant fit with the team. Despite his love of carburetors, Owen is eager to learn new technology and increases his skill set daily. When he is not clocked in at the shop he can be found nurturing his collection of Chevy project trucks. Come on Owen, one of them needs a turbo!

Barry


Barry is a veteran member of our repair side, overseeing the day to day operations while working with new techs to get them trained up. From mounting and balancing tires and brake jobs, to replacing engines and installing lift kits, he does it all with a good sense of humor, a smile, and a dedication to perfection. His personal vehicles have been many and varied, but he seems to have grown quite fond of his latest: a V8 AMG Mercedes. For a lively discussion ask him about his exhaust, resonators, and the possible supercharger upgrade in the future!
