Automotive Service by Automotive Enthusiasts
Mark Granigan
Mark is a serial entrepreneur and a fixture in the Atlanta car community. While family is always his first priority, his passion for Porsche sports cars led him to the idea of a people-focused automotive service center where integrity is matched only by quality and everyone is welcome. Mark wants Wolfpen to be the place you come for an honest answer, a friendly conversation, or as the jumping off point for an enthusiast event.
Josh Van Veld
After 20 years of heading video game development projects and sim-racing in his spare time, Josh was very comfortable in the virtual world. But a track day in 2019 sparked a new quest: Motorsports. Learning to race, wrench, and make YouTube videos introduced Josh to a whole different world, and to his future partners. As the head of Wolfpen, Josh is back to doing what he loves best: building and leading a team of passionate enthusiasts.
Nicole Van Veld
After completing culinary school in Chicago, Nicole built her career as a pastry chef, decorating elaborate cakes and baking desserts for weddings and large events. As the head of Wolfpen's member lounge and customer area, Nicole's back-to-basics design is what makes Wolfpen a warm, welcoming destination for car and coffee lovers of all stripes.
Gabe Kornacki
Gabe's first word was "car," which is actually not a joke. After being born on the south side of Chicago, Gabe's family moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin where Gabe began to accumulate car knowledge faster than Skynet. He became a certified Volkswagen technician, and then he moved to Atlanta where he became a bronze level Certified Porsche Technician (CPT). He's -- allegedly -- one of the first people that he knows of who has swapped an Audi 4.2 liter V8 into a B6 Avant. Gabe currently lives in the Brookhaven suburb of Atlanta with his girlfriend and their original NIntendo Wii.
Kevin Alvarenga
Kevin is an Atlanta native who grew up around racetracks and performance cars. A graduate of the Porsche Technician Apprenticeship Program, Kevin is a factory trained Gold level certified Porsche technician (CPT, one of the highest levels a technician can achieve.) As if that wasn't impressive enough, Kevin is also a certified Audi technician, and he has a wealth of experience working on BMW and Volkswagen models -- as well as JDM cars. A fan of performance, Kevin has too many projects to list on our website, but he's especially fond of his big turbo BMW 335i manual. Kevin absolutely loves his two dogs... and he's pretty fond of his fiance, too.
Nick Wells
Nick is originally from NC and was introduced to cars at a very young age via his grandfather being a classic Chevy collector, and quickly, his car knowledge began to increase. He made it his goal to become a high level mechanic, so he went to trade school to get general automotive certifications and then he picked up a few different dealership jobs over the years. Nick worked on numerous BMWs, Audis, and eventually getting certified as a Mercedes-Benz technician, which fully shifted his taste from American muscle to European engineering.The automotive industry has always been a part of Nick's life, and he hopes to one day raise little gear heads with his lovely wife.
Chris Cook
Chris has over 30 years in the automotive industry, starting in the custom world building show trucks and competition stereos. Having had numerous magazine cover vehicles and sound competition trophies, the need to have a 9 to 5 job so he could raise his two boys led him into the dealership service life. Chris started at Infiniti and after becoming an Infiniti master tech, he branched out to BMW, Mercedes and Audi. The way dealerships treated customers and technicians didn't sit right with him, so he left to start a small European shop focusing on honesty and integrity for customers. A coincidental meeting with Josh at Atlanta Motorsports Park ended up being his path to Wolfpen. The alignment of passion and integrity was a match made in heaven! Chris lives next to Road Atlanta with his amazing wife and 2 dogs. Between spending time with family, and working at Wolfpen, the hardest decision of his day is deciding which of his 5 Mini Coopers to drive to work!
