Lexi "The Shop Dog" Rizzo
Lexi spends her day greeting customers, teaching humans how to play fetch and herding those pesky JDMs. She is always happy to see people, greeting them with a smile and a wiggle butt that won't quit.
Ben, Parts Guru
I am a third generation “car guy”. if there’s one thing I’ve learned from car culture, it’s that it’s not about “what car” but about what cars make you feel. That’s why I love working at Kraken, it feels like family, because it is, And every person who walks through the door gets to feel some of that.
Max Everage, Badass Technician
Max is an ASE Certified Technician. He is a car enthusiast whose passion for cars came from watching NASCAR as a kid. He fell in love with JDM cars sitting in the passenger seat of his dad's 1994 Toyota Celica. He joined Kraken Motorsports hoping to turn a passion into a career.
Chris, Technician
Chris is a Tech who loves working on cars, which may be at the core of who he is but don't challenge him to a game of darts unless you want to lose it all! He has 500whp dreams for his Ford ST and I'm sure you'll see plenty of pics of the build. Check out his photography Instagram @_aston_photography.
Nathan, Master Technician
Nathan is a Subaru Master Technician who has been working on Subarus for years. He always has something interesting to share. An all around super nice guy, with expertise and a love of dogs, I know Lexi appreciates.
