Tim is the SECRETARY of TOCA. He owns a Tesla Model S and has closely followed Tesla from the start. In 2022 he made his first EV purchase. He's looking forward to home charging from solar panels and the Tesla will fit right in with a robotic (self driving) electric lawn mower. Tim works in the IT industry in software data analytics. He also enjoys landscape and commercial photography along with aerial drone photography as a licensed FAA operator. 

Gary CREATED TOCA in 2019 and served for six years as its secretary, treasurer, membership administrator and member of the Executive Committee. He drives a 2020 Tesla Model 3 Stealth. Retired from decades of various IT positions, he's  been an autonomous vehicle safety driver for Gatik, a reserve police officer, a McDonald's manager, an official in the Shelby, Pantera and NSX clubs, and a Juror for the Fayetteville Film Fest for fifteen years. He's also a photography instructor and vintage mini-bike collector.

Joel has been passionate about solar and EVs for many years, educating individuals on the benefits of EV ownership and green energy, addressing misconceptions and advocating for a level playing field regarding green energy and EVs. He owns a Model 3 and has installed solar paneling at home. Joel is employed with the Little Rock School District as their Magnet and Innovation Specialist. In his free time he enjoys working out and playing disc golf.  Joel has been married for over 15 years and has two boys, 13 and 8. His youngest shares his same passion for Tesla and EVs.  

Following a fifty-six year career in transportation, John and his wife, Patti, settled in downtown Little Rock. Having been involved with alternative fuels and transportation sustainability, John always felt that EVs were the future! He has a Tesla Long Range Dual Motor Model 3. The Hedricks and their dog, Ridge, have close to 50,000 miles on their Tesla, across at least 26 states. They're proof it's possible to travel off the interstates over the back roads in an EV, as they enjoy visiting the small towns, parks, river ferries, bridges, and other points of interest that are not accessible on the interstates.  John is a board member of the LR Firehouse Hostel and Museum, VP of the LR Downtown Neighborhood Association and a regular participant in the Mac Park Group, arts, history, and transportation groups. He grew up in Pennsylvania, holds a BS from NYU and MS from the U of Georgia. Although retired, John still does some transportation consulting work.
