Our Story
We’re all after the same thing: an inspiring story that motivates our own projects. Whether you’re waking up before sunrise on a weekend, scouring the web for your next part, or spending all night in the garage, a passion for the automobile is what drives you.
Front Street Media is the ongoing story of the automotive world we live in, and our goal is to bring you some of the finest examples of personalized builds, industry insider tours of your favorite companies, event coverage, and everything in between.
Here at Front Street Media, we’re after the real automotive stories. We love a well-rounded, well-thought-out build. We want to hear about the hardships, the indecision, the risks, and the rewards. Your story could be next, so drop us a message and share your journey!

Daryl Sampson
Director of Marketing
An aficionado of all things automotive, Daryl has had an illustrious career in the motorsports industry. An inauspicious start working as a crewmember for noted sport compact drag racer Craig Paisley led him to a position with Turbonetics and subsequently to ACT Clutches before landing here with us at Front Street. Ideally, Daryl would have a Porsche 911 GT3 as a daily driver, but since we pay in peanuts, he’s had to settle for an M3 outfitted with KW coilover suspension and one-of-a-kind three-piece BBS wheels. It’s a tough life.

Art Director
As the creative mastermind behind Front Street Media’s appearance, Anthony’s design perspective drives the visual context for the website. Clean, lean, and mean is the motto. While some of us collect car parts, Anthony collects vintage ‘70s sport watches. He always knows what time it is. He also has his very first car – a 289-powered 1966 Mustang Coupe – sitting in the garage waiting for his attention. Like Daryl, Anthony is a BMW fan; his current daily driver is a X3 M40i.

Kyle Crawford
Editor
Kyle is an avid motorsport and import car enthusiast, who is on a quest to drop weight from his already paper-thin Honda Civic to make it quicker for HPDE events. His work has been published by the likes of Subaru of America, Super Street Magazine, and Import Tuner Magazine, among others. Just don’t look to his Instagram for automotive posts; he seems to have a strange fascination with sunsets and landscapes.

Brandon Cody
Media Coordinator
Brandon comes from a family with a strong passion for cars—his dad gave him and his four brothers the automotive disease, and they have been building cars ever since. From a young age, he was captivated by photography, and today has had his work published in Super Street and DSPORT. With love for motorsports, Brandon has focused on modifying his 1992 Nissan 240SX drift machine, which consumes way too much of his money. He strives to be the person Keko, his Siberian husky, thinks he is.
