Frank Williams is a retired military officer and congenital smartass. He currently works as an IT strategist for the State of Georgia, but still doesn't know what he wants to be when he grows up. His wife has given up trying to count the cars he's owned over the years. She just wishes he'd make up his mind.

Sajeev Mehta - Writer

Sajeev Mehta

Sajeev Mehta wears the comment "you are completely obsessed with cars" as a badge of honor. His higher education featured an automotive twist: Mechanical Engineering, Fine Art, Industrial Design and Operations Management. These days, if Sajeev's not studying for his MBA there's a good chance he's restoring, modifying or racing one of his obscure Hot Rods somewhere in the Lone Star State.

William C. Montgomery - Writer

William C. Montgomery

Writing about cars diverts William C. Montgomery from his day job as a financial controller for one of the world’s largest credit card companies.  His career rivals that of Forrest Gump, working jobs ranging from general construction to accountancy.  He has an undergraduate degree in psychology and MBA in eBusiness.  He and his family currently reside northwest of Dallas, Texas, in the shadow of the Texas Motor Speedway.

Paul Niedermeyer - Writer

Paul Niedermeyer

Paul Niedermeyer grew up thinking he was a car, because they were easier to understand than people. Moving to the US from Austria at age seven without knowing English reinforced and prolonged his confusion. Eschewing formal education for magazines, books and the open road, Paul eventually fell into a (short) career in television, where he co-founded the Telemundo Spanish-language network. Since 1993, he and his family have lived in Eugene, Oregon. He's still a little confused about cars (and people), but has found it therapeutic to write about them.

Justin Berkowitz - Writer

Justin Berkowitz was recently voted "Who the heck is that guy?" in an unofficial poll of his classmates at Columbia Law School in New York City. Although automotive infatuation is Justin's primary interest, he also procrastinates by heading the New York Pub Tour, a project to catalog and review Irish and English pubs in Manhattan. The rest of the time he can be found in the kitchen unsuccessfully attempting to prepare South and Southeast Asian delicacies or catching up on hyper-nerdy science fiction television shows

Matthew Neundorf

Mattew Neundorf

Matthew Neundorf was bitten by the car bug at the tender age of two. Toronto's native son soon boasted a Matchbox and Hot Wheels collection rivaling the Sultan of Brunei's real-life whips. After doing the growing-up thing, Matt got his license and spent some serious seat time in every automotive make and model he could beg, borrow, rent, buy or sleaze. This former valet parking attendant claims he's putting his philosophy degree to good use here at The Truth. 

Jay Shoemaker - Writer

Jay Shoemaker

Jay Shoemaker is the CEO of Francis Coppola's food, wine and resort companies based in the Napa Valley. Shoemaker's passions include his Chinese wife, cameras, computers and his Chihuahua. Shoemaker's alliteratively- consistent interest in cars has led to his one vice: buying them. At last count, 117 mostly-German vehicles have passed through his expert hands (he only keeps four or five at a time). Shoemaker favors luxury high-performance cars that don't distract or annoy him.
