Frank Spezzano - President & CEO
Vehicle: 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee
The mastermind Known as Frank Spezzano is the man behind PAS Magazine. Dedicated to his passion (and possibly world domination), our fearless leader spends every waking hour working on ways to get PAS to the next level. But be warned, this short-tempered ‘tortured genius’ rules the office with an iron fist and only knows one speed… full throttle! A number of previous PAS employees are still missing to this day, so unless you want to join them on the back of a milk carton, we suggest you stay on Frank’s good side.
MATTHEW ADOLFO – Sales & Marketing Director
Vehicle: 2008 BMW M3 4-door (E90)
As the unofficial PAS Social Director, Matthew is the glue keeping our tight-knit crew together. As one of the longest tenured members of the staff, Mr. Hook-Up has been here from our humble beginnings to our current status as an industry heavyweight. A natural born hustler, Matthew is the lead of the sales team and can usually be found cruising the streets in his M3.
RICHARD ROBLES – Production Manager
Vehicles: 1999 Infiniti (Y33) / 2000 Infiniti G20t
The definition of a true O.G - Richard is the grand-daddy of cool around here. He's been with PAS since its humble beginning, so he's seen all the ups and downs. Robles VIP style, slick dance moves and gangsta lean are the envy of many, as he's the only man we know (other than Kanye West) with a Louis Vuitton belt.
JORDON CHIARELLI – Online Content Editor
Vehicles: TTC
Aspires to be Richard Robles.
QUEUE‘Q’ GONZALEZ – Creative Director
Vehicle: 2010 MazdaSpeed3
It usually takes celebrity status to be known simply by one name, unless you’re our oh-so-stylish senior art director. The talented ‘Q’ works his magic like a skilled plastic surgeon, as we often crowd around his desk in hopes of spotting the many sexy model photos he spends his days editing and designing. A true professional and always dressed to the nines, Queue will openly challenge Derek Zoolander to a ‘walk off’ anytime, anywhere.
Erickson "E30" Obiacoro – Editor
Vehicles:
- 2001 BMW 330ci
- 1998 BMW 740iL
- 1986 BMW 325e
- 1983 BMW 535i
- 2009 Yamaha R1
- 2004 Kawasaki ZX6RR
If PASMAG if like Vietnam then Erickson would have done the most tours of duty. Residing in both Toronto and San Jose, he has been in and out of PASMAG three times over the past 8 years! Seriously, who does that? As you might of figured out, he kinda likes BMWs but we think he is still weaksauce for not buying an OG 635csi and an 850 V12 to have something from every series. But when it comes to bikes, we give him props because he has no fear and lots of skills. If you see him rocking his R1, you’re lucky ‘cause he is usually just a blur doing double the speed limit. His diverse style is sort of like his career at PASMAG, if it needs to get done, Erickson has your back.
PATRICK DINGLASAN - Production Director / Senior Designer
Vehicle: 2008 Infiniti G37s Coupe, Retired - 1995 Integra GSR Turbo (DC2), 1992 Honda Civic CX, 1989 Honda CRX Si
Although his classic bubble-back Civic is starting to show its age, Patrick isn’t giving up on it just yet. He is also the man behind our PAS Project Integra GSR, armed with an arsenal of upgrades and a massive turbo. Rumour has it he’s trashed more than one stage with his guitar, combine that with his willingness to hit the autocross/track, and P. Diddy is easily one of the most talented individuals in the office.
EDWARD SHINTANI – Design / Production
Vehicle: 2006 Subaru WRX
Often found lurking behind his Mac and always sporting his signature camouflage cap, Edward is a man of few words around the office. Some say he’s a guerilla mercenary working undercover, other’s say he’s a descendent of a secret ninja clan… No matter what his story may be, we all know ‘Eddie Machete’ puts G.I. Joe to shame when it comes to number of missions accomplished.
PATRICK BELTIJAR – Design / Production
Vehicle: 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS
The silent assassin has an understated style with razor sharp efficiency when it comes to the designs he cranks out. As one of the youngest in the PAS crew, the man we’ve grown to know simply as PB is just as smooth as a fresh jar of Skippy… especially with the ladies
ARNOLD ADOLFO – Sales and Office Manager
Vehicle: 2004 Acura 1.6EL
Once the proud owner of the only minivan in our parking lot, our boy Arnie recently ditched the family-hauler in favor of a Subaru Impreza and never looked back. Much like Master Yoda, this ‘faja’ keeps us youngsters in check with his questionable words of wisdom and knack for electronics and gadgets. As our unofficial army-of-one IT department, Mr. Incredible is the man we’ve all come to depend on.
MICHELLE FORSYTH – Administrative/Finance Director
Vehicle: 2011 Kia Sportage
Michelle’s witty humour and ultra-organized nature keeps our nearly chaotic office running smoothly and efficiently. If you’ve got a question, Michelle always has an answer – there’s just no guaranteeing that you’ll actually like it.Contributors
