~OUR TEAM~

Board Member | Chief Marketing Director & Style Coordinator

Gina Baca grew up in a world of real estate and drag racing. Her uncle Dennis Baca won the U.S. Nationals in 1977 and won Top Fuel at Indy along with several other national events. Years later her cousin David Baca became a second generation drag racer and the former record holder in the Top Alcohol Dragster class. He was known for his involvement in the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) events. 

Gina's passion for real estate was ignited during her formative years in Northern California while following in her fathers foot steps. After high school she fearlessly embarked on her real estate journey purchasing her first home at age of 19. Collaborating with her father she took the reins of her father's company Baca Bros Floor Coverings and renamed it G Baca Floors. With an entrepreneurial spirit driving her, Gina expanded her investment portfolio, and ventured into the realms of mortgage lending, property management, custom and home building. All of this while building G Maven Marketing to support her career.

"I joined the Speed & Style team in 2021 as a proud sponsor, drawn to the team’s passion and dedication to growing this incredible cause. I quickly fell in love with their mission and commitment to making a difference. Leveraging my marketing expertise, I helped elevate the foundation by developing a new website and refining marketing procedures to enhance its reach and impact. I love 500 SL Mercedes Benz, but my heart will always belong to my 2001 Toyota Tundra and my 1987 Yamaha dirt bike!" 

Social Media Director

A recent addition to the team but a longstanding volunteer for OTFS&S, Matthew is an IT professional and project manager in the US Navy. Serving as a Marine Corps Veteran for 12 years and participating in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan, Matthew's military experience has influenced his fashion sense with a blend of classic designs and a touch of flair. His style was further shaped during his time in Japan, where he cultivated a passion for JDMs on the drift track, owning multiple Nissan Skylines GTRs and Silvia S14s.

While stationed in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, Matthew's enthusiasm shifted to motorcycles, and he exclusively embraced riding on two wheels. Over the years, his diverse collection included various vehicles such as the 1995 Nissan 240SX and its RHD S14 counterpart, Nissan GTR-32, GTR-33, Saab 9-3t Aero, Audi A4 and A5 cabriolet, and numerous Suzuki GSX-R 750s.

Originally from the Midwest, Matthew has happily called Alexandria home since 2015. He is thrilled to contribute his skills to the OTFS&S Marketing and Social Media committee.
