What Makes Us Tick-Ryan P. Eastwood Product Manager
Yes, my grandfather owned his own shop and was the lead technician for a race team at the old Reading Fairgrounds. My father was also a technician for many years and gave me my education in automotive repair industry. I started my career as a technician when I was 13 by changing oil and doing other small jobs at local friend of the family’s garage. I eventually was performing any job that came through the door.
What Makes Us Tick- Andy B. Eastwood Product Manager
I came from the Automotive Aftermarket where I developed OEM replacement parts for the better part of a decade. As a kid my addiction to cars started with building a go-cart with my father who is a pipe fitter by trade. I then graduated to British sports cars, which broke the bank for a high school student trying to build off of a part time budget. Eventually, I found myself working on Jeeps and other off-road vehicles. Little did I know, a cheap Jeep Cherokee project would shape my automotive future.

Nick C., Sr. Content & Engagement Marketing Manager- What Makes Us Tick
My favorite Eastwood product is the powder coat system. When I came to Eastwood (I started out by doing my Penn State internship at Eastwood), I worked with the HotCoat Powder Coating Division. After Mark R. showed me the basics and benefits of powder coating, I was hooked. I’ve powder coated everything from hood hinges, carburetors, VW engine tins, to the gas tank for my ’62 Bug.
Lisa F., Product Marketing Assistant- What Makes Us Tick
Do you have any projects going right now? What are you building, restoring, or a job you are tackling next? Pretty much everything parked outside my house is a project! Time, garage space and project finances seem to always be spread thin across a twin turbo dodge stealth, a Mitsubishi Evolution, and a Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R.
Kevin S., Senior Product Marketing Manager- What Makes Us Tick
What’s your favorite Eastwood product? Why? Eastwood TIG 200 AC/DC welder. Having access to the advanced process of TIG welding at an affordable price is great. I have always wanted a TIG welder in my home shop, but could never justify the expense. The value of the Eastwood TIG 200 AC/DC welder has opened up the door to welding aluminum and stainless for me.

Do you have any projects going right now? What are you building, restoring, or a job you are tackling next? my 32 Ford High boy. It’s currently in Eastwood Gray Urethane Primer that I sprayed with the Eastwood Concours Paint Gun and the interior is covered in Eastwood Thermo-coustic.
Ed O., Eastwood Tech Advisor- What Makes Us Tick
What’s an interesting factoid about you that we wouldn’t know at first glance? I’m a major head banger, who use to have long hair and I can’t live without my daily dose of Ozzy Osbourne on the way to work each morning.
