I am a true 'car guy' at heart. I am an automotive writer and author (MODERN SPORT CARS - Barnes & Noble) with extensive experience in sales, service, and CSI initiatives for dealer groups for well over a decade. My car business experience, as well as a passionate work and leadership ethic sharpened Marine Corps at Johns Hopkins University give me a unique ability to thrive in virtually any situation.

The grandson of an automotive factory worker, I grew up in Michigan near the Motor City and finished high school in Nevada. I spent seven years in the Marine Corps as a writer and editor, winning many awards for photography, writing and editing. In addition to my work with in the auto industry, I am an automotive book author and freelance automotive writer for several publications.
