I handle new car reviews, news, events, auto shows, and contribute to special projects and multicar comparisons while representing our team in the heart of the U.S. auto industry. I’ve been a part of the industry my whole life, growing up in an automotive family, spending the past 30 years working for Bosch and Nissan, and serving as an industry analyst for years before coming to Cars.com in 2012. I’m a graduate of the University of Michigan (Go Blue!), have an MBA from Wayne State University in Detroit with a focus on international business strategy, and I’m a member of both the Automotive Press and the Midwest Automotive Media associations. My personal fun car is a pristine 2002 Ford Thunderbird, which I love because it is not an SUV, has zero touchscreens, and nothing dings at you all the time. My pronouns are he/him, but my adjectives are fat/sassy.
The 2026 Ford Explorer Tremor’s on-road performance doesn’t suffer from the addition of off-road equipment, with all-terrain tires and an off-road suspension that actually make it more comfortable over bumps and broken pavement.
Nissan’s Rogue Hybrid is comfortable, efficient, reasonably priced and chock-full of mostly easy-to-use technology, making it an excellent choice if you’re shopping for a new compact hybrid SUV.
The 2026 Toyota Tacoma Limited is comfortable, powerful and capable, but it suffers from tight backseat room, mediocre fuel economy and an eye-popping price.
Making Ram’s 6.7-liter Cummins turbo-diesel engine available in the Ram 2500 Power Wagon only increases the truck’s appeal, bringing amazing torque, smooth operation and surprising relative efficiency that improve the truck’s driving characteristics.
The new 2026 Ford Mustang RTR might be the most approachable, most affordable high-performance car on sale today with its combination of turbocharged power, upgraded performance parts from other, more expensive Mustangs, and unique styling and mission.
Exotic, rare and guaranteed to turn heads everywhere it goes, the Lamborghini Revuelto is a formidable performance machine – with a formidable price to match.
In Cars.com testing, a 2027 Ram 2500 Power Wagon with the 6.7-liter Cummins turbo-diesel returned 19 mpg over 711 miles of mixed driving and up to 20.6 mpg on sustained highway stretches.
