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.

MELISSA MILLER

Presdient 
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.

Melissa is a New 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’s just as comfortable wrenching on her dream car as she is tearing up mountain bike trails. When she’s not obsessing over Foxbodies, you’ll find her spending time with family, spreading good vibes, and making sure everything in her world has just the right pop of pink.

JASON CUMMINS

Vice President 
Jason started his journey elbow-deep in engine grease, only to realize he preferred designing the cars rather than just fixing them. So, like any gearhead with a dream, he traded his wrench for a drafting table, earned a degree in Industrial Design from the College for Creative Studies, and hit the ground running in the auto industry. After working for several companies, he decided to go full throttle on his own passion, launching Makers Garage, where he crafts aftermarket parts for the Foxbody faithful. When he’s not obsessing over aerodynamics and fitment, he’s busy being a rockstar dad, a devoted partner to Melissa, and an unapologetic admirer of, well… let’s just say, Queen Melissa.

LYDIA MEARING

Board Memeber
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.
