About Antone

I’m Antone Hempstock—entrepreneur, creator, and lifelong rule-breaker with a soft spot for old Volkswagens and big ideas. I’ve spent over 20 years building businesses from the ground up, always doing things my own way. One of my biggest ventures was founding Lemon Squad, a nationwide automotive inspection company that reshaped how people buy used cars. I didn’t just build a company—I sparked a movement that made vehicle inspections faster, smarter, and accessible across the country.

After selling Lemon Squad in 2020, I stayed on as a systems consultant, helping refine operations and scale the tech behind it all.

Meanwhile, I hit the road with Rohmer, my 1987 VW Vanagon Syncro. What started as weekend trips and wrenching sessions turned into Roaming with Rohmer, a YouTube channel that’s grown into a community of over 1 million subscribers. It’s raw, unscripted, and rooted in the spirit of adventure.

VanagonGear.com is the next evolution—gear built for the road, for the van life diehards, and for anyone who gets why these old vans still matter. Every hoodie, hat, and sticker here is part of that story.

I also run PunkRockPress.com, where punk rock, gaming, and cultural chaos come together with zero filters.

This is the life I built—on purpose, on wheels, and without asking permission.
