Ryan Lopez — Born and raised in Huntsville, Alabama, Ryan’s passion for cars started early, sparked by sitting in his uncle’s Ferrari F430 in 2005 and quickly fueled by an interest in Formula 1. He learned to drive in a Range Rover L322, and bought his first car soon after: a 1991 Nissan 240SX, which he still owns today. Ryan began his career in the automotive aftermarket over a decade ago, working as a Creative Director, before moving into a project management role with a major automaker. He joined Cars & Bids in 2023, where he now serves as Brand Marketing Manager, helping shape the voice of the enthusiast marketplace.
