Tess

I’m Tess, 25 years old, born and raised on a small farm just outside Louisville, Kentucky.

From the time I was little, I was out in the barn with my dad, turning wrenches on tractors, fixing broken-down trucks, and learning that if something’s worth having, it’s worth getting your hands dirty for. I still live that way.

I’ve got two passions that never let me sit still: old Chevys and animals. My garage holds a ’55 and a ’57 Chevy that I’ve been building since I was a teenager. My house holds a bossy cat named Cat and a loud little chicken named Cluckers who thinks she runs the place.

I believe horsepower should be loud, honest, and a little wild — just like life. If it doesn’t make you smile when it fires up, it’s not worth building.

Come sit a spell. We’ll talk cars, laugh a little, and maybe get some grease under our nails together.
