OUR FOUNDER
From the moment I could hold a pencil, I was driven by a curiosity that set me apart. While other kids were lost in the latest games or fads, I was captivated by the world of architecture and engineering, enthralled by the very act of creation. I thrived in solitude, pouring over blueprints and sketching intricate designs, more fascinated by the “how” and “why” of things than the “what.” This fascination, though not widely understood by my peers, was the seed that would eventually blossom into a life-defining passion.
​
As I grew, my interest took a decisive turn toward automotive engineering. By middle school, I wasn’t just drawing cars; I was designing them, complete with brochures that detailed every feature. It wasn’t just a hobby—it was my way of making sense of the world, of channeling my creativity and engineering mindset into something tangible. In high school, this passion matured into a pursuit, as I immersed myself in architecture and engineering classes. My projects were distinguished by their creativity and technical precision, solidifying my dream of becoming a car designer.
But life, as it often does, had its own plans. During my senior year, I faced a heartbreaking loss when my mother passed away from cancer. It was a seismic shift in my life, throwing me off course. The grief, combined with the weight of new adult responsibilities, dimmed the bright flame of my childhood dreams. Graduation came and went, and I found myself drifting away from the path I had once walked with such conviction.
​
The years that followed were marked by achievement but shadowed by a lingering sense of disconnection. I had built a successful career, yet something essential was missing. It wasn’t until the summer of 2022, during a quiet moment of reflection, that I came to a startling realization: the eager, creative child who had once lived for the thrill of designing cars had been buried under the weight of life’s expectations. I had lost sight of my true passion, and in doing so, a part of myself.
​
Then, seemingly out of nowhere, a spark reignited. As I meticulously detailed my cherished car one afternoon, I found myself dissatisfied with the products I was using. That familiar feeling of curiosity and drive welled up inside me again. What if I could create something better? Something worthy of the pride and passion I felt for my car? This idea grew, taking shape in a way I hadn’t anticipated. Teyko was born, not just as a business, but as a rekindling of the dream I thought I’d lost.
​
Teyko Automotive Lifestyle LLC is more than a company—it’s a testament to passion reborn.
