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 2024 Rolls-Royce Spectre is the ultra-luxury brand’s first-ever EV, and its fully electric powertrain makes it even more silent, opulent and flat-out lust-worthy than any Rolls-Royce has ever been.
The big Lexus TX ticks all the boxes for what shoppers look for in a three-row SUV, but lackluster luxury trimmings make it a hard sell over more opulent rivals.
The 2024 Honda Prologue electric SUV is based on the 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV that Honda has had a turn at massaging to bring out a bit more Hondaness.
Mercedes-Benz’s Drive Pilot is a step on the way to the fully autonomous robotaxis that many companies are developing, but it is still just a step; we’re not there yet.
The updates Cadillac has made for the 2025 model year make what is already an outstanding sedan even more user-friendly, and that should be celebrated.
The 2024 Gladiator sports a lot of the same tasty upgrades as the 2024 Wrangler, with a few key omissions and a sad discontinuation from the prior model year.
We looked at the latest state of tailgate tech among Ford, GM and Ram to determine if Ford’s new Pro Access Tailgate is likely to be a deciding factor in bringing new buyers.
