Dana Schaeffer Director of Business Development - Chop Shop Customs
Dana Schaeffer actually married into the car industry back in 1993. Her husband owned a 1956 Chevrolet Belair mild custom and together they would travel up and down the East Coast to car shows, enjoying the hot rods and cool people they met. It’s during this time that Dana found out she actually enjoyed the hobby on her own terms.
In early 2004, Dana & her husband opened up Chop-Shop Customs in Woburn, MA (www.chop-shopcustoms.com ) where they specialize in classic restoration and upscale metal fabrication. She is currently the Director of Business Development for the ‘shop’ and handles all the advertising, communications and website management.
Dana is the Director of Social Media as well as an Assistant U.S. Director of Representatives for New England for the Right Coast Association (www.rightcoastcars.com).
At the SEMA show in 2006, Dana was honored with an achievement award recognizing her continued support for the SEMA Action Network’s legislative efforts in the State of Massachusetts. Dana is also a member of the SBN (SEMA Businesswomen's Network).
Dana resides in Massachusetts, with her son, Nathan and her husband Lenny. She also works full time as the Senior Automotive Account Manager for IMN.
