After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.

These velocity stacks trumpet out gloriously from the Mopar 392 crate Hemi engine. A six-speed manual gearbox from Getrag handles shifting chores.
