Holderith started work at The Drive as he ended college and the pandemic began in 2020. Since then, he’s written features about everything from finding Ford’s long-lost turbine-powered semi-truck, “Big Red,” to a group of Russian Offroaders crossing 2000 miles of Siberia in home-built 4x4s. He’s interviewed the crew chief of an SR-71 Blackbird, gotten sick from acceleration in a Tesla Model S Plaid, and driven one of GM’s legendary Futurliners.

Holderith graduated from Philadelphia University (now Jefferson University), with a bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design in 2020.
