The passion for automobiles and motorcycles started with Jim and his dad Cliff decades ago when Jim was just old enough to get around. Riding with his dad on his motorcycle, soap box derby car, and more spawned years of fixing and building things as a young kid. It really was a reality when Jim started driving in Okinawa Japan, when stationed there with his family Dad, a career naval over-achiever. Moving back to California after four years of fun with cars and motorcycles in Japan, doing his own thing with his mini truck featured in a magazine at a young age of 16, he launched Tietz Racing (Racing quads,and various cars on dirt) building his first manufactures show car at 20 years young). This was the start of decades building dozens of cars and motorcycles for various manufacturers. e.g. Eclipse, Scosche, Lanzar, Rockford Fosgate being seen around the county at shows, SEMA and CES, to just name a few.  After Cliff’s retirement after 27 years in the navy, Jim and Cliff started a construction company, Tri County Building, They also started Tri County Motor Worx as a private company dealing with manufacturers only as a part time therapeutic activity, building only show cars. Taking Tri County Motor Worx to the public in 2010 and semi retiring from the family construction company to peruse his love with motorcycles, Jim has grown his knowledge through being a pillar of ideas and knowledge for product development and design for companies bringing new unseen products to the consumer. His company was brought to light when he was asked by Piasano Publications to be one of only a few shops to feature tech articles for installations and photo shoots for new products. in 2013 Jim and Cliff’s company Tri County Motor Worx made a deal to purchase My Garage, a motorcycle store started by Brian Spencer in 1985 on Palma Dr. in Ventura.
