TCC's editor spent the '70s toddling, the '80s regretting his wardrobe, and the '90s learning the auto industry, as an enthusiast and as a journalist. Marty earned his Bachelor of Arts (cum laude, with special honors in interwar European history) from Duke University in 1991, then joined the staff of Car and Driver magazine as the editor of UpFront, the news and information corner of the million-selling monthly. After five years of road tests, comparos, video and online work, he joined Mercedes-Benz U.S. International in Tuscaloosa, Ala., as a media relations specialist. In 1996, he returned to journalism as a freelance reporter, with articles in Details, Men's Health, AutoWeek, and Stuff magazines. Today, in addition to serving as executive editor of The Car Connection, he continues to write for Stuff Magazine, Import Tuner, and is currently writing his first book, a cultural history of the HUMMER brand. Marty lives in Atlanta's Morningside village on occasion, when he's not loitering on the Gulf coast, and still gets an irregular heartbeat from Duke basketball.
