Experience

Logan is a lifelong car enthusiast, whose infatuation with the automotive world first manifested itself as soon as they could walk. They were known to chase classic Volkswagens down the street before they even learned how to speak. Becoming an automotive journalist has been their recently realized childhood dream job, and every professional role they previously assumed was intended to prepare them for this role, including being a customer experience specialist at Tesla, a durability test driver for Porsche and Audi, and a two-year tenure as an automotive aftermarket marketing and PR professional. Logan has been a full-time staff writer at Jalopnik for one year, and they express their passion and nerdiness by writing about their eclectic mixture of automotive interests daily. They aspire to help as many people as possible find a car that they feel connected to and excited to drive.
