Writing about cars and the technology around them.
I am a freelance writer with bylines at AutoGuide and TechSpot, and I have a credited article at CarMax. I write the way I would explain a vehicle to a friend about to buy one: plainly, and with honesty about the trade-offs. I am taking on new clients.

What I write
Based on the work I have done and enjoy most.
Vehicle news and previews
Accurate, timely coverage of new models and industry announcements, such as the 2020 Land Rover Defender reveal and Maserati’s electric plans.
Buying guides and how-tos
Practical advice for the person about to spend money, from dash cams to winches.
Ownership reviews
Time behind the wheel turned into an honest account of what a vehicle is like to live with. My Chrysler Pacifica article for CarMax is the example.
Long-form tech and gaming features
Well-researched histories and explainers, like 30 Years of Civilization and The State of Self-Driving Cars, both written for TechSpot.
Interviews
Conversations that go past the press release, like my sit-down with Grammy-winning composer Christopher Tin.
Vehicle research content at volume
Almost 200 make and model research pages written for CarMax through Contently over four years. Those ran without a byline, so they are not listed below.
