Summary

Automotive writing is a passion of mine that's spurred several positive experiences and accomplishments. From raising The U.S. Sun's new Motors desk's traffic significantly as the desk's only staff member, to covering life events like Ducati's reveal of a highly-anticipated new motorcycle, I derive genuine joy from my work and hope to make a positive impact on readers.
