Experience
Jeff has always loved writing and talking to people, so it only made sense that he eventually became a journalist and editor.

As an automotive journalist, he's driven and reviewed thousands of vehicles, including the original Tesla Roadster, autonomous vehicle prototypes, and even an ATV that turned into a jet ski. As a technical writer for BGR, he enjoys crafting how-to stories, including how to install a stereo, how to DIY repaint your car's roof, and consumer guides to all the latest gadgets.
