BEAUTY FOUND ALONG AMERICA’S HIGHWAYS

FOUNDED IN 2010

I’m Tommy.

Husband to Shannan. Pops to 6. Grandpa to 25. I'm also a PA College President, steady reader, and hot rodder.

CarSafari started as a way to catalog our automobile adventures. It has evolved into a passion project - a digital scrapbook of our automotive photography, stories, and projects. Working on classics in my shop, participating in the annual Hot Rod Power Tour, and fine-tuning my photography skills are all hobbies that fill my proverbial tank.

“Improvement makes straight, straight roads,” said William Blake. But he didn’t stop there. He added, “but the crooked roads without improvement are the roads of genius.” CarSafari travels the roads of genius to discover the cars and the stories. Come, enjoy the ride. Click here if you want a deep dive into how it all started.
