The Founder's Story
A career in insurance.
A lifetime with the cars.
Mike McCarthy began his career with Prudential insurance, with his earnings he bought his first Porsche 911. In 1986 he was thrown out the windshield and put in a wheelchair. Instead of stepping away, he turned that passion outward: just protecting the vehicles and collections keeps his dreams.
