Head of Operations aka Lead Guy

Luis has been involved in the Ford Focus scene officially since February of 2003 as an active member of FocusFanatics and FocalJet. In 2013 Luis took a more active role in FocusFest and STFest running the social media and marketing of the event. In 2019 Luis inherited the event as the “lead guy” from Ben.

Organizer & Judge

Ben was one of the founding members of FocusFest and successfully ran the event for many years. Ben has been the backbone of the event and has been one of the pillars of its success. After many years of enduring the trials of the event, Ben has “semi-retire” and stepped down to a behind scenes organizer.

Organizer, Chief Judge, Director of Field Events & Lou’s Cuddlebuddy

Jason has been an intricate and important pillar of the Ford Focus community. From his iconic “Sonic” the SVT Focus, to one of the longtime members of FocalJet and FocusFanatics, his value is without measure not only to the community but to FocusFest. Jason is “THE GUY” during the event, from setting up the show field, to organizing and putting together the judging panels and running the volunteers. We would be lost without his guidance!

Marketing and Outreach Director

Melanie recently officially joined the FocusFest team as our Outreach and Marketing Director. You’ve probably seen her for a number of years running the FocusFest tent and in charge of our merch table, you may have even been bullied to buy an extra shirt. Well due to this passion she is now in charge of our sponsors needs and outreach. We’re excited to see her at an official capability with us!

Organizer & Head of Designs

Charlie has been part of the FocusFest Team for a number of years and has been behind some of our most iconic graphics and logos. From the Retro Vibes to the Modern designs Charlie has been leading the way. We love seeing Charlie’s passion transpose onto FocusFest and we’re excited for his continued artwork with us!

Designs and Development & Brand Ambassador

James has recently joined the FocusFest Team as a Ford Maverick Ambassador, through conversations we learned about his amazing talent in Designs and Website Development. So we had to recruit him to bring us to the modern age. We’re excited to see his passion be expressed through our event and are blessed to have him onboard!

Ranger Ambassador

Rick has joined our Ambassador program representing the Ford Ranger. Rick has been in the Focus scene for a number of years and has had some awesome projects that are quite recognizable in the community. Rick has been part of developing a information hub to store lots of OG Focus information and data that have been lost to the forum era. Now as a Ford Ranger owner we have been following his build and are excited to see his growth in that community as well.
