In March 2016, Jim joined Bayberry Vintage Autos as a Master Automotive Technician responsible for keeping our cars in perfect condition, managing and executing our third party service business and working on multiple OEM restoration and custom projects. He was promoted to General Manager in May 2019 and manages all aspects of our operations.  With over 19 years of automotive repair and management experience, Jim is Ford A.S.S.E.T. trained, ran chassis dyno for two organizations in Florida, and served as a race crew member.  He helped build and maintain a world record setting twin turbo Fort GT and executed multiple builds and performance upgrades.  Jim is a hands on manager and spends the majority of his time working on cars and projects in our shop.

Matt manages our body shop and joined Bayberry Vintage Autos in November 2018.  Matt is experienced in all aspects of automotive restoration including metal fabrication, repairing and reshaping body imperfections, multiple stage painting including custom hand painted accents, and assembly/fitment.  He has seven years of body shop management experience along with four years of collision teaching experience.  A true perfectionist, Matt’s first project was to complete the body work and paint our 1963 Corvette Split Window “fuelie”, a frame off restoration completed in 2020.

When Derek joined our team in September 2019, he recognized a unique opportunity to work on an amazing collection of cars and be a player in our custom project and restoration business.  He brings a wide range of mechanical and body repair work experience to our team developed over the span of 17 years in the business.  Although Derek is new to our world of vintage and custom automobiles, he embraces learning from both Jim and Matt.
