Meet John Thielen, one of the members of our Jessup Street Team!
John might be a recent addition to the Bullet team, but he's no stranger to automotive and diesel. As a little kid, he was gifted at taking things apart and putting them back together (just ask his folks), and that naturally led to rebuilding his first truck--a 1984 Ford F250 6.9 IDI--as a teenager. Though he doesn't still have that, he's currently working on a 2014 F250 6.7 with the goal of pushing a cool 700 horsepower out of it... nothing crazy. John's had experience on both the automotive side with a well-known national chain and a dealership; and the diesel side with a smaller shop. He's had factory training and a lot of on-the-job training, from standard gassers to heavy line performance diesel builds, high horsepower engines, and custom turbo kits. He chose automotive and diesel because, like us, he had a passion for restoring trust in the industry. He chose Bullet because he liked the family atmosphere and our common belief that folks should be treated with kindness and respect.
