Devon is a lifelong Land Cruiser enthusiast, machinist, mechanic and photographer who originally developed the Classic Expedition Vehicles brand and philosophy. He grew up learning machining and wrenching under his father, Dale Barker, and has spent years building, repairing, and refining classic Toyota 4x4s. Devon’s technical knowledge, design sense, photography and attention to mechanical integrity established the foundation CEV was built on. While now based remotely, he continues to serve as a trusted technical advisor and mentor, helping guide complex mechanical work and preserve the “mechanical-first” ethos at the core of every CEV build.
