About Morgan Jade
How did I get into cars?
Back in the days of “real” street racing, as a 14 year old kid I fell in love with racing Hondas the instant I watched my first race! But, long before that I was the kid who refused to get out of their go kart, started when I was 4! I grew up in the garage wrenching with my Dad, who was a Toyota nut. He always had 2 or 4 old Landcruzers in the garage. My brother was the more artistic child that enjoyed time painting, taking photos, and hanging out with Mom. I did the “boy stuff” in the garage with our Dad. From falling in love with street racing before I even had a license to drive my first CRX , to taking that love to the track over the years, I am still at it! Cars are my life besides my family. Between my first Honda at 14 to now, I have owned more Hondas then I have fingers and toes! If it is a Honda, i’ve owned it and i’ve built many engine combinations over the years. These days K-series is my poison. Once you go K, you’ll never go back. Did you know road racing is the newest form of racing for me? I spent most of my seat time driving in a 1/4 mile long straight line. I am excited to keep myself on my toes and i’m always finding new ways to stay behind the wheel more often.
What’s Next?
| I majored in Business, spent 6 years of my life in an industry that wasn’t me. I was very successful, and made great achievements in my career in telecommunications. I also realized it was not my life long career. In the past 10 years I found who I am and what I believe in. I believe the real key to success in your career is having a real passion for what you do. I now feel that I have that passion for the industry I have fallen into over the past 10+ years. Life isn’t always just about the money and the spoils. Money only makes you happy for so long before the happiness wears off. You can’t take your money with you when you die. Money is not the key to happiness. Passion is what leads to happiness. The automotive industry is very enjoyable to me, and believe me i’m not getting rich off all this. I do it because it’s where my heart is. I am confidant I made the best choice in life for myself and most importantly my family. Family is the biggest part of my life. Without my children, I wouldnt be the person I am today. My family and true friends support my career. I am very greatful for the amazing friends and family I have surrounding me. In the good times, and the bad. I am terrible at picking up the phone and calling sometimes, but I never loose touch of what matters in life. I am stubborn, that’s for damn sure. But, paired with my stubborness is determination. They go well together when you set your goals high and only settle for what is best. Life is way too short. Live each day as it is always your last! Smile and stop to notice the small things in life. Stay ambitious and on your toes at all times. You never know what each day will bring to the table. What hurts you will only make you stronger. I am a prime example of that. |

Hey my name is Romel and I just read about your CTR in Honda Tuning. Seriously I read that article over and over at least 5 times. I have a lil’ EK myself and I have major plans for it, but along the way I got discouraged and nearly decided to just put a stop to my project UNTIL I saw your CTR. When I read the article and saw your masterpiece, it just juiced me up with a whole new inspiration. So all I have to say is thank you… You’re an inspiration.
