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 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, Gina expanded her investment portfolio and ventured into mortgage lending, property management, custom home building, and more. 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 my 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 embraced riding two wheels exclusively. 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.

 Internet Sales Director at Jaguar Land Rover of Alexandria 

 Results-driven automotive and technology professional with a proven track record spanning automotive sales leadership, large-scale event promotion, and digital entrepreneurship.

I currently serve as Internet Sales Director at Land Rover Alexandria, overseeing digital retail strategy, lead generation, CRM and software integration, online merchandising, and staff training. My role blends data-driven decision-making with customer-centric sales leadership to drive performance in a competitive luxury automotive market.

Prior to automotive retail leadership, I was deeply embedded in the vehicle lifestyle and motorsports industry during the early 2000s. I was a proud member of the Teckademics crew, contributing to the import car culture movement, including involvement with Mischief DVD, which became the number-one selling automotive lifestyle DVD of its time. I also served as Producer and Head Promoter at Maryland International Raceway (MIR) for the IMSTAR Import Drag Racing Series, where I led event promotion, sponsorship coordination, and execution for high-attendance motorsports events.

My entrepreneurial background includes founding and operating Dragva.com and Dcspeed.net, two early digital platforms dedicated to the import performance community, helping connect enthusiasts, racers, and brands during a pivotal era of automotive culture and online media.

In parallel, I spent over 20 years as a leader in the Washington, D.C. nightlife and hospitality scene, managing high-profile venues such as Insomnia Nightclub and promoting notable clubs including Zei Nightclub and The Bank Nightclub. This experience sharpened my skills in branding, promotions, team leadership, and experiential marketing, skills that continue to translate directly into my automotive and digital work today.
