As the resident #Florida native, my automotive insights have been honed by triumph and tragedy. While attending the University of Central Florida, I was caught up in amateur drag racing back in 2004.

An addiction to quarter-mile consistency led me to Eckler's, a leader in GM restoration parts. As the manager of their truck division, it was fun watching C10 and Square Body rust buckets capture the hearts and minds of the aftermarket.

It was there that Tom duPont made me an offer I couldn't refuse. The duPont Registry is a great resource for buying and selling exotics and classics, and I led their social media / editorial efforts for a decade. Priorities change, so I looked for an opportunity to share my experiences and insights to a global audience, and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else!

I currently drive a 2004 Cadillac CTS-V plagued by all the famous GM quirks, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. In the garage sits a 2002 Camaro SS 35th Anniversary Edition, a beast I bought new in September of '01. Always looking for the next project, I have owned a few B-Body wagons, a Trailblazer SS, and several flavors of supercharged Buick 3800.

The Oxford Comma sometimes appears in my work, along with the lamentations of Corvette ownership. If you made it this far, my hat is off to you. This message will now self destruct!?
