I am a journalist with more than 25 years of pleasure in writing and working in the automotive industry. After graduating in journalism from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, where I am a scholar from Morehead, I started with the much-loved Nashville Banner, an evening newspaper. My speed included Saturn Corp. GM’s in Spring Hill, Tennessee, when the plant was still hollow on the ground, as well as the giant Nissan plant nearby. This became an article in Automotive News, the automotive industry’s leading advertising newspaper, as a single workplace in New York, encompassing European luxury brands, Wall Street, publicly traded broker groups, retail car finance, and monthly car sales. A four-year period as head of market research and corporate strategy at Mercedes-Benz USA gave me an internal perspective. More recently, my independent tasks have included Advertising Age, Automotive News, AutoWeek, Bankrate.com, Businessweek.com, CBS Interactive, The Financialist through Credit Suisse, ForbesAutos.com and Forbes.com. I’m also the former editor of Auto Finance News in New York.
