Silas' was a born car fanatic who's first word was Saab as he pointed at one. He has been dreaming about this company since he was 5 years old, playing with Matchbox cars on a car city mat while Stone learned to walk. For more than a decade he has been developing his skills building and working on custom cars, chassis, bikes, and furniture. It took him building a custom chassis for a '36 Pontiac restomod for his ideas for Strickland Motor Co to click into place. He started spending his free time doing research and running the numbers to make sure his burgeoning plan for the SpeedWagon could be a success. As the SpeedWagon development ramps up, he is in the shop day-in, day-out building the prototype and iterating on the design. He oversees all aspects of the car and production and collaborates closely with Stone on the rest of the business.

Stone has been a systems thinker from day-one. His drive to understand the physical world led him to an Engineering Physics degree and his curiosity for the business world led to a professional career in startups and strategy. Before he'd even graduated, he had a job at Tesla and stayed for nearly 4 years helping them expand across the world and played a lead role in opening the Australian market. Since then he has founded a few of his own startups, consulted numerous others, and coached many founders along the way. What started off with Stone being Silas' sounding board for Strickland Motor Co ideas, soon became an undeniable partnership. The brothers have always been close and wanted to work together but there had never been an opportunity until the SpeedWagon. Stone is the perfect compliment to Silas' skills to bring the SpeedWagon to life. While Si handles everything car, Stone handles the non-car side, from back-of-house operations to marketing, business strategy, and sales.
