About Your Instructor: Mr.G

I was lucky enough to do my first EV conversion as a student in a class in California back in 2008. Since then, I have done several conversions in the education environment, working with students on modifying cars—something I find incredibly fun and rewarding. Over the last 20 years, I’ve taught high school auto and metal shop, and about 10 years ago, I started Mr. G’s Workshop to share my shop teacher skills—welding, machining, and auto mechanics—with adults and young adults.

Whether you're into EVs for sustainability, energy independence, or high-performance hot-rodding, the fundamentals are the same, and I’m excited to teach them to you. This class is more than just a course—it’s about building a community. I’ll share resources, including local East Coast suppliers, so you’ll know where to source parts for your own projects. We’ll also have casual discussions throughout the weekend about sourcing materials, best practices, and next steps. Since EV conversion classes are mostly offered in California, Arizona, and Denver, I’m excited to bring this opportunity to the East Coast and make it more accessible. Looking forward to seeing what you build!

Mr.G lead a Full EV conversion summer of 2023 at the EVLC in San Marcos, CA
