Q&A with Author
In Conversation With Timothy
A little about me!
I live in the Detroit area after calling three other states home. My work in the automotive industry has taken me to 47 states and 19 countries, so I recognize that not every company, community, or culture solves problems the same way. Smart people are working toward innovative solutions across industries worldwide, so we should always be open to new ideas and ways to solve problems.
What was the first car I bought?
I leased a Chevy Monte Carlo when I worked in sales right out of school, but when I went to grad school, I bought an old, budget-oriented car: a 1966 Dodge Dart. The car pictured below is nicer than mine, but it has a similar vibe.
What's my dream car?
I need a small car for urban driving and occasional long trips, so a fully electric vehicle with utility makes sense for me. I have my eye on the Volvo EX30, or a similar model, as my next dream vehicle.
What does car shipping mean to me?
Car shipping is not a one-size-fits-all situation. The best solution for any particular shipment depends on the starting point, destination, vehicle, and personal preferences. Still, some car transporters have the systems and people to provide the best solution more often than others.
Which Nexus audience do I connect with the most?
My auto industry experience helps me connect with several audiences, including Car Ownership & Purchase and Luxury & Lifestyle. In contrast, my personal experience helps me understand the nuances of Moving & Logistics, Career & Job Relocation, Seasonal Living & Retirement, and International & Expat Moves.
