Hello there, my name is Benny.

For as long as I can remember, cars have excited me, pushed me to action, and connected me to great people.

Renn Cafe is the genesis of my love and appreciation for cars, motorsports, and photography. In 2016, I created an Instagram page called @audi_bahn where I shared pictures of Audi cars and their owners journeys. As I continue to build that page, Renn Cafe will exist as a similar space for all makes / models, and motorsports - with an emphasis on the enthusiasts behind the cars.

A goal of mine is to recapture the essence of the cars I shoot and the relationship it's owner has with it. The relationship that us "car kids" envisioned when we were younger - that our future cars would be more like a best friend than merely a mode of transportation. One that we endure tough times with and take care of just as we would a close friend.

The icing on the cake is, my weekends at racetracks and club racing events double as my business.

My business partner Andy Villa and I run an independent insurance strategy firm called 1789 Wealth Strategies. In addition to building bespoke risk management strategies for families and business owners, we specialize in Motorsports Insurance cover for drivers, teams, and racecars.

To bring this full-circle and reiterate my initial statement, anyone simply looking at cars and thinking to themselves "I don't get it" is missing the point, but will hopefully be enlightened by reading these fascinating stories. Cars are a way for us to express ourselves, to challenge ourselves, and to connect with one another.

Cheers to good roads, great friends, and fun cars.

Ben
