Ken Cruz
Outside Sales & Business Development
Ken’s love for cars started as a kid collecting and playing with Hot Wheels. As he grew older and reached the age of driving he started to surround himself with others who shared the same interest in cars. In the late 90’s and early 00’s in Southern California, the import car scene started to take off and he found himself at events like Hot Import Nights, LA Street Races and the good old drag race nights at the LA County Raceway (LACR).
After years of working in the finance industry, he left his job in 2015 to pursue a career in the Aftermarket Automotive Industry. He’s worked with several notable organizations including CSF and Global Time Attack. Ken is very passionate about the industry and has years of sales and marketing experience to bring to the table which makes him a great asset for the ATC Racing Team.
His hobbies include cars of course, traveling, spending time with family, houseplants, and watching/playing sports.
