Default OT: New Job (car-related)

A handful of you might already know this, but I've been working for Roadfly.com for the past few months.

Roadfly started as a BMW/Porsche forum, and has been steadily expanding over the past few years and making forays into blogging, road testing, and videos.

I started there as a staff writer, and have since become the site's director of content in addition to my writing duties. The site could be better-organized, and a lot of my articles are ghost-written at this point, but you can find some of my bylines under the Nissan Titan long-term test and the "car news" section. I put my last name in my sig, so you guys can just search for my stuff on the website. Even without the ghostwritten stuff, there's a fair amount in there.

Also, here's a link to my first video, on the 2007 BMW X5: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpDr4e3gwoc

Enjoy.

Yeah, it is. That's the first voice-over stuff I've ever done, and we were pretty rushed in making that video. It should get better with practice

I've always wondered how people get started at jobs like this... What is your writing background?

Been a writer ever since I was born, basically. High school/college journalism, an internship at an international news agency, minor in journalism in college.

I don't actually appear in this video. The footage was taken at the X5 media day, which my publisher (the chunky one doing the seating demo) attended. I did the writing and the voice.
