Josh Stein

Co-Founder

Josh is a mechanical engineer, product designer, and entrepreneur who transformed Classic Expedition Vehicles from a shared idea into a working business. While co-founder Devon Barker brought deep technical experience and mechanical mentorship, Josh applied his background in business development and systems design to build CEV into a structured, service-driven restoration shop. Over time, he learned the mechanical side from the ground up — turning theory into practice through years of hands-on work. Today he leads all mechanical operations, diagnostics, and process development from CEV’s Fort Collins workshop, keeping the focus on one principle: build reliable classic machines.
