Our Sponsors

Big shoutout to our incredible sponsors for fueling the dream, keeping the lights on, and making all of this possible. We tried doing it without you once… the coffee ran out, the tools went missing, and someone tried to weld with a glue stick. Never again.

Thanks for believing in the mission and being a part of the ride. You're the real MVPs.
PEOPLE

Meet the Team

MELISSA MILLER

President
Melissa is a Nurse Practitioner turned Foxbody fanatic with a love for all things pink and a car that would make Barbie proud. Energetic, outgoing, and always up for an adventure, she has just as much fun wrenching on her dream car as she is shredding the mountain bike trails. You will frequently find her spending time with family, tracking down the perfect Old Fashioned, and making sure everything in her world has just the right pop of pink.

JASON CUMMINS

Vice President 
Jason began his career as an auto mechanic, where he discovered a true passion for car design. That passion led him to earn a degree in Industrial Design from the College for Creative Studies, eventually working for several major automotive companies. He later founded Makers Garage, where he designs and manufactures high-quality aftermarket parts for Foxbody enthusiasts. Outside of work, Jason is a proud father and a supportive partner to Melissa. They enjoy playing pickleball together and hitting the mountain bike trails—though he’ll be the first to admit he’s usually a few pedals behind her. Jason’s creativity, dedication, and love for his family are at the heart of everything he builds.

LYDIA MEARING

Board Member
After earning her Bachelor’s degree from Western Michigan University, Lydia found her stride in the world of sales, a testament to her adaptability and open-minded approach to life. Her work takes her across the country, and she approaches each trip with dedication and a sense of purpose.
Though her downtime is limited, Lydia’s love for good food, especially her boyfriend’s perfectly grilled steaks, and her talent for finding joy in life’s small moments speak volumes about her spirited personality.
At The Rubystone Project, Lydia is a driving force behind our social media presence, bringing an infectious energy, a sharp sense of humor, and a talent for bringing ideas to life. With her love for kids and her ability to turn even the most mundane task into something fun, she is not just an asset; she is a whole vibe.
