  • Chris saw his first car magazine at age nine and is still hooked on cars and car media more than four decades later.
  • He has built engines, raced cars and even dressed up as Burt Reynolds' Bandit to deliver the best possible story.
  • Chris once hit 217 mph on the road in a Bugatti Chiron, but had almost as much trying to master the non-synchro transmission on his 18 hp Fiat 500.

Experience

Chris has spent over 25 years writing for the world's top car magazines and websites. After heading Autocar's Road Test desk in the early 2000s, he jumped to Car Magazine for seven years.
