Chief Engineer / Co-founder
Mike Griffith
Every build starts and ends with Mike. As Chief Engineer, he is the technical backbone of Dadbod Carmod—equally at home under a car, behind a welder, or elbow-deep in a wiring bay at 11 p.m. the night before a race. His fabrication work has turned junkyard finds into cars capable of finishing 24-hour endurance events, and his eye for what is about to break has saved more than one race weekend before it started. If it is mechanical, Mike can build it, fix it, or make it faster.
