Technology, ADAS, emissions rules, and “right to modify” are at the heart of our industry. Changes are coming that could make most vehicle modifications Illegal. SEMA has the ability to influence and drive, protecting our lifestyle. I have experience with legislation and will help unify these efforts so we can speak with a powerful, singular voice that shapes legislation and protects our freedoms. Read my whitepaper HERE.

SEMA’s has 9 current priorities HERE, lacking focus. I’ll be a champion of consolidating and streamline strategic goals, ensuring we invest time and resources in the areas that matter most.

Councils drive grassroots change and engage members to grow our industry. I will advocate for greater representation at the board level from council chairs, clearer collaboration across councils, and improved frameworks to reduce confusion and improve council efficiency.

The SEMA and PRI shows are the heart our industry, but SEMA’s influence is broader than the annual show. I want to expand membership by welcoming the hundreds of thousands of smaller shops that install, customize, and repair our vehicles—offering them real benefits like data access, SEMA Garage support, and legislative resources.

We can do more with data. By partnering with OEMs and better leveraging vehicle data, we can give members cutting-edge access to licensed data to build new products and stay ahead in a rapidly changing market. The SEMA Garage should be the hub that transforms those data and insights into real-world product development support.
