Personal motto:

What’s the worst that can happen?

As a kid, Bogdan grew up handing his dad the tools needed to work on his old Citroen and asking one too many questions about everything happening inside the engine bay.

Growing up just meant spending every penny he could save on R/C cars and scale models, taking them apart and putting them back together just to find out how they work.

Naturally, this upbringing led Bogdan to become an engineer. But thanks to Top Gear, The Fast and the Furious series, and car racing video games, a passion for automotive entertainment was ignited.

Bogdan was lucky enough to find autoevolution, where he can explore this passion and learn to use my talkative nature in a creative environment. Still somewhat of an engineer at heart, he enjoys digging into and writing about the world of Formula 1, but finds yachts and quirky vehicles to be just as cool, as innovation is a common theme among those subjects.

When not sharing his thoughts about what’s going on in the car world, Bogdan can be caught hiking, car spotting (and taking pictures, of course), or taking road trips in his 2008 Audi TT.
