Tempting Fate Tours, my newest part-time venture, is a YouTube video series about road trips. In odd, unexpected cars of dubious reliability, usually decades old, often British. They run at the start of the trip. After that, anything can happen—and frequently does. What could possibly go wrong?

Articles include coverage of EV technology, state and national policy, and the real-world experiences of driving electric vehicles.

I contribute articles on auto technology, in particular powertrain electrification and the energy ecosystem around it, including charging networks. From 2004 to 2010, I was (unofficially!) the magazine's "automotive editor," covering advances in vehicle tech on a wide variety of fronts.

I wrote and edited more than 10,000 news stories and longer perspective pieces on fuel-efficient and zero-emission vehicles, as well as the energy industry and the policies that affect them globally. Since 2009, Green Car Reports has published 17,000 news items and car reviews, and it currently runs at about 30 a week. It is the largest green-car site in North America. I also drive and review new cars, mostly (but not entirely) on the plug-in or fuel-efficient end of the scale, for sister sites The Car Connection and Motor Authority. In September 2014, we sold High Gear Media to Internet Brands, becoming the bulk of that company's Automotive group.

Two separate consulting engagements, from Dec 2006 to Mar 2008 and again from Oct 2008 to Jan 2009.
