Peter Nelson

Peter Nelson is a Staff Writer at The Drive. He often finds himself blogging about all-things motorsports and off-roading as he's thoroughly infatuated with having fun behind the wheel. But his automotive enthusiasm is quite expansive and digs just about every corner of the industry.

• Interests include BMWs, motorsports, old Land Rovers, do-it-yourself maintenance, track driving, and road cycling
• Enjoys writing about about wide variety of subjects, as well as his experiences behind the wheel and beneath a safely supported project car
• Previous work experience: Winding Road Racing/Winding Road Magazine, a very brief stint in banking, several fulfilling years in non-profit, a short-yet-fun tenure as a Chicago bicycle messenger

Nelson graduated from Illinois State University with a degree in German and a minor in International Studies.
