ERNIE BECKER – CV / RESUME

Born and raised in Southern California, my passion for motorsports and the automotive industry started at a very young age while growing up in Los Angeles… the car culture capitol of the world.

I’ve been fortunate to work with dedicated, passionate, like-minded individuals that share the same common goals and foundations in life as me. I have earned a great reputation for being honest, having integrity, quality thinking and strong execution skills.

OTHER NOTES:

Was supported by Vasek Polak Porsche and Carl Thompson (Vasek Polak Racing General Manager) as a teenager going racing. Was brought into the Porsche culture via Mr. Polak and Mr. Thompson. Got to meet many driving greats such as: Willi Kauhsen (Porsche Works Driver), the late Milt Minter and Danny Ongais.

My Uncle is Rick Becker, the Founder of the 912 Registry website and is considered the God Father of the 912 world. This Porsche enthusiast website is the bible for 912 owners worldwide.

With my relationship with Metalore, I’ve been able to meet and become friends with the Formula One Designer, John Barnard. Mr. Barnard’s accomplishments within Formula One are legendary. The carbon fiber tub and the semi automatic (paddle shift) gearbox are some of his achievements.

Jaime Manca Graziadei was a big influence regarding the business side of motorsports. Mr. Graziadei was the Team Manager for Minardi Formula One and the McLaren-BMW Le Mans efforts.
