I love driving! I've lost count of exactly how many car I've driven in the 13 years I've worked at Car magazine, but I know how many of those experiences have stood out as absolute highlights. Having the opportunity to drive a car with my name on it (literally) has defintely been one. I started working at Car as an assistant photographer, then a photojournalist, and currently I'm an associate editor.
