Michael Morozov Marketing Manager/Photographer/Media Director
Michael typically drives at least 3,000 miles each month and put 50,000 miles on his car last year, even with it being out of commission for three months. Michael loves the tranquility to be found on an open road where he can focus on 'finding the line'. He swapped an engine into the Audi and immediately took the car on a 1,000 mile road trip.

Jason RinneAdvertising Coordinator/Marketing Specialist
With years of varied marketing experience, Jason is finally able to merge his career talents with his enthusiasm for exotic and specialty cars. Born in Bellevue and having lived all over the Pacific Northwest, joining the team at Park Place has been a bit of a homecoming and a perfectly natural transition to the greater Seattle area. When not in the garage handling light service and repair on his families' BMWs, you can find him turning laps at the local kart track in one of his 4-stroke ItalKarts with his son.
