• Michael (Mike) Hall, born 4 February 1958, owner of Rust Bros Restorations. A rock blaster by profession, Hall began collecting cars in his teens and decades later owned over 400 parked on his property near the Trans-Canada Highway. He tried to sell both the cars and his property in 2016 but received no offers. When he raised the price in 2017, the story went viral and he received phone calls from prospective buyers. He also received offers from producers to create a documentary. Hall has also made a guest appearance on Discovery Canada TV show Highway Thru Hell. Hall then built a restoration workshop on his property and the show started in 2018.{{Cite web|title=Here's Everything You Need to Know About Mike "Rasta Blasta" Hall on 'Rust Valley Restorers'|url=https://www.distractify.com/p/mike-hall-rust-valley-restorers|access-date=30 August 2020|website=Distractify|date=22 August 2019 |language=en}}
