Experience

He established a car column in his college paper as well but took a circuitous route to professional automotive journalism from there. He's had jobs as an off-road tour guide, travel blogger, ski instructor, mascot, and myrid other things before a stint in automotive finance and car dealer logistics.
In 2013 he landed a part-time gig at the automotive news site Jalopnik, rising from intern to contributor to editor to road test editor to running his own sub-site about trucks and off-roading. Andrew's competited in off-road racing as a navigator at major events including the Baja 1000, and led off-road expeditions on three continents. He's also tuned cars for, and competed in, hillclimb, ice racing, quarter-mile drags, autocross, rallycross, and track days.
Andrew joined Recurrent in 2020 to run Car Bibles, a deep library of DIY tips and service journalism. He officially joined The Drive's masthead in 2022 when Car Bibles was rolled under The Drive's umbrella.
