About

With over 40 years of experience in the automotive industry, I am a passionate and versatile professional who combines engineering, journalism, testing and analysis, product development, product planning, marketing, and public relations. As a contributor to the SAE's Automotive Engineering magazine, the No. 1 resource for engineers across multiple disciplines in the automotive industry, I help to shape the future of the automobile and mobile technologies via innovative disruptive technologies and unique online automotive retail platforms.

I am also a technical consultant for several companies and projects, such as CARVIZON, Motivo Engineering, Tueore Technologies, Muscat Design, Meyers Manx, OnlineKars.com, and WheelsTV, where I apply my expertise and insights to develop, promote, and enhance new and existing products and services. I have a proven track record of delivering high-quality results and solutions that meet the needs and expectations of the clients and the market. I enjoy working with diverse and talented teams, and I am always eager to learn new skills and explore new opportunities.
