I'm Jacob Gerken, and my journey into the heart-pounding world of motorsports began at the young age of 14. From that moment, I've been on an exhilarating ride fueled by my unwavering passion for speed, precision, and innovation.

My story isn't just about racing; it's a tale of immersing myself in every facet of the motorsports industry. With a drive that matches the power of the engines I've worked on, I proudly served as a factory driver for Polaris Powersports for a rewarding two years. This experience ignited a spark in me, propelling me to venture into various disciplines that comprise the vibrant motorsports landscape.

My journey took me through a thrilling array of experiences. I've had the honor of collaborating with diverse race teams across the spectrum of motorsports, ranging from the rugged world of off-road racing to the finesse-demanding challenges of spec Miata events. Drifting's artistry and precision also found a place in my repertoire. As a result, I've become a versatile force in the realm of motorsports, bringing my skills to bear on projects that push the limits of performance.

Building race cars and high-performance street machines has been more than a vocation; it's my true calling. The artistry of engineering, the thrill of testing limits, and the satisfaction of seeing my creations tear up the track or rule the street have driven me every step of the way. It's a pursuit that demands dedication, expertise, and an unyielding commitment to perfection.

My passion has propelled me to a point where I'm ready to make an even larger impact. GerkDesigns is the culmination of my journey, a manifestation of my determination to contribute to the motorsport community in a meaningful way. With an unwavering commitment to innovation and excellence, I am excited to offer my skills and expertise to fellow enthusiasts, racers, and builders. Through cutting-edge additive manufacturing, meticulous design, and a proven line of products, GerkDesigns aims to empower your pursuit of motorsport greatness.

Thank you for joining me on this exciting journey. Let's harness the power of innovation and speed together, as we continue to push the boundaries of what's possible in the world of motorsports.

Rev up those engines,

Jacob Gerken
