My first “professional” job in California was associate editor for Chrysler Power magazine, which led to more freelance writing for magazine titles like Mopar Action, Drag Racing Monthly, Popular Mechanics New Car Buyers Guide, Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords, and Scale Auto Enthusiast. These writing gigs were exciting and really got me thinking about becoming a full time staff member on a big title like Hot Rod or Car Craft. I also worked as a machinist at Eric Hansen's Stage V Engineering in Walnut, CA. If you don't know, Stage V Engineering produces a wide range of products for the 426 Hemi engine family. Ranging from complete cast aluminum Hemi cylinder heads to ultra-duty roller rocker arms to freshly-designed intake manifolds, it was a great experience to be part of the Stage V family for three years.In the late summer of 1997 I got a phone call that would literally change my life. It was Ro McGonegal, then the editor of Hot Rod magazine. He wanted to know if I was interested in coming to work for him as Technical Editor. He'd seen some of my published writings and wanted me to join the staff. I must say, trying to remain calm and collected during the interview process was a real test of my acting skills! In the end, I spent the next 7 years aboard the fantastic, glorious ship that is Hot Rod magazine.During the next 7 years, I had the honor of working in the hallowed Petersen Publishing building at 6420 Wilshire Blvd. with guys like Ro McGonegal, Gray Baskerville, Jeff Koch, Terry McGean, John Dianna, Drew Hardin, David Freiburger, Matt King, Doug Glad, Jeff Smith, Matt Stone, Henry De Los Santos, Steve Campbell, Steve Temple, Rob Kinnan and many other professional writers – many of whom I'd been reading since youth. On the other side of the pages, I formed ties within GM, Ford and Chrysler and was granted access to their inner sanctums as part of numerous magazine articles devoted to Detroit high performance engineering. I was also thrilled to have worked with racing and customizing icons like Bill “Grumpy” Jenkins, Ronnie Sox, Jake King, Buddy Martin, Dick Landy, “Big Daddy” Don Garlits, Richard Petty, George Barris, Linda Vaughn, Richard Schroeder, Art Carr, Don Nicholson, Troy Trepanier and many others.Another thing that happened during my time at Hot Rod was the opportunity to appear on Hot Rod Magazine TV, which was then produced by WATV and (as it does today) aired on SPEED TV. This is where I got my first exposure to regular TV work and was able to put some of my training to work. Though there was no extra pay for my efforts (as Tech Editor at Hot Rod I was a salaried employee), the experience was awesome. Quickly we discovered that viewers loved itany time we took the camera into one of the many self-serve automotive boneyards in Southern California. Before long, I hosted over a dozen of these so-called “Junkyard Crawls” and ratings spiked whenever one was included in an episode.By 2005 I had been on staff at Hot Rod for 7 years, that's longer than most Tech Editors – the constant pressure of meeting monthly deadlines has a way of chewing you up. Also, my interests were moving toward doing more TV work and less magazine writing. So I resigned and quickly got a number of jobs hosting automotive TV programming. Maybe you saw me on Classic Car Restoration on the DIY Network, Off Road Adventures on the Outdoor Channel, Rides Reunited on the History Channel as well as some commercials and promotional bits on SPEED TV.

The Mecum October Takeover is in full swing with two live auctions in the books and the third on the horizon. There's lots to discuss about the recent Chattanooga auction, but before diving in, On the Move hosts Matt Avery and John Kraman have quite a bit of car news to share. John gives his full report from the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School at the Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch in Pahrump, Nevada, where he learned the ins and outs of piloting the C8 Corvette and was able to push the car to near its limits. Meanwhile, Matt also has impressions to share on the Chattanooga Motorcar Festival, which took place in concert with Mecum's auction. Both Matt and John were nearly shocked by a Toyota SR5 truck that crossed the block and brought more than six figures. The pair go into the details, pulling out the pop culture reference that helped it bring top dollar. From there, it's on to discussion of Ford's tease of the upcoming off-road focused Bronco Everglades and Acura's hints of the upcoming Integra hatchback sedan. Then, John shares what he thinks will be the biggest bit of October car news: the reveal of the 2023 Corvette C8 Z06, set to debut October 26. Up next, Matt is joined by Chattanooga Motorcar Festival Concours Director Ken Gross. The three-day automotive celebration took place concurrently with the Mecum auction and featured everything from competitive racing and scenic road rallies to evening street fairs full of live music. Top automotive personalities were on-site including Ray Evernham, Linda Vaughn, Tanner Foust, Wayne Carini and Brian Redman. It all culminated in a Sunday Concours d'Elegance, the focus of Matt and Ken's discussion. Ken shares some of the behind the scenes planning and intentionality that went into producing the event, while Matt also wants to find out about the high level judging at the event and how a Ferrari 275 came to be crowned Best of Show. From there, Ken changes gears to discuss another historic vehicle he's connected with: the 1951 Bob Hirohata Mercury set to cross Mecum's Kissimmee auction block in January. Ken shares his earliest memories of the vehicle and why the custom design work that went into it decades ago by famed brothers Sam and George Barris has truly stood the test of time.
