As of 2007, I work as a writer for the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA)'s in-house publications.
I earned my MA in public communication from American University in August 2007. In May of the same year, I completed my graduate thesis on consumer vanity and standards of luxury in the American and German automobile markets.
I am also a graduate of Lehigh University with a BA in journalism, and have been actively interested in automobiles for the last ten years. I have had articles and photographs published in Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Virginia publications and joined Wikipedia in January 2005.
While my study of automobiles focuses on luxury and exotic marques, my bank account is not quite as vast as my dreams; I drive a 1999 Mitsubishi Galant ES. It's no Mercedes, but I absolutely love it.
I have, on several occasions, attended the Philadelphia International Auto Show, the New York International Auto Show, the Washington International Auto Show and the Concours d'Elegance. My primary areas of study are Mercedes-Benz and BMW. I am particularly interested in Mercedes-Benz V12 and AMG models.
