Sandy Huynh -- Operations Manager

The consummate multi-tasker, she simply gets the job done, and follows up without delay. In her free time, Sandy enjoys shopping, traveling, and cruising around in her 2008 G35 Sedan with Volk RE30 wheels, and she is quick to point out her red Rays locking lugnuts.

Ryan Doi --- Sales Manager

Ryan has always enjoyed modifying his own Evo8 and GT-R, and when Forged Performance moved into the Atlanta area back in 2006, he was quick to visit our shop, and learn more about our business. At the time, his car was lightly modified with the usual bolt-ons. When it was time to time his Evo to the next level, he trusted us to make it happen. I guess he liked us so much, that he applied for a position as our Sales Manager! Ryan does a terrific job of phone, in store, and online sales. He is very active on all of the forums. He is our resident Evo specialist, and knows exactly what parts to suggest for a project. In his free time, Ryan is busy modifying his GT-R (his daily driver), and his Evo8 Time Attack car. He plans to complete in the Redline Time Attack series, alongside the Forged GT-R.
