Zach Deykes

Zach Deykes has been a car enthusiast since childhood. He took that enthusiasm and channeled it into a career in the automotive industry. In college he worked as an intern for Hot Rod magazine, then as a production assistant with Motor Trend on their iconic shows: Roadkill and Hot Rod Garage, and eventually came full circle working as a Newsroom Editor for Hot Rod magazine for 3 years. Subsequently, he worked for marketing agencies doing content creation, an occupation he now holds as a  freelancer. He's built a few different vehicles over the years and has also crewed for his father-in-law's racing efforts in Rally Raid events in Mexico for several years. You'll find him either working on his FJ62 Land Cruiser, on house projects with his wife or when the weather is nice, camping or road-tripping with his family.

Anthony McClinton

From a young age, Anthony McClinton has had a love for anything and everything automotive. He is an engineer by day, and a graphic designer by night with over 100 designs featured on Blipshift.  Throughout 2021 and 2022, he was the graphic designer at a number of  Subaru events across the country. He is a Subie guy through-and-through and one of his first purchases after college was a 2014 WRX hatch that he then lifted and modified to be an overlanding rig that he took on an epic journey from Arizona to the Pacific Northwest and back. Alongside his Subaru, he also owns a 2016 Miata and he recently picked up a two door 2021 Ford Bronco with the 7-Speed manual. If he is not working on his cars or crafting up a shirt new design, you can find him hiking, mountain biking, and backpacking all around the Western United States.
