Mark has worked as an automotive journalist for over 10 years, starting as a student at Centennial College, in Toronto, by launching an auto-review section in the college paper, The Courier. Since then, he’s been Editor of Inside Track Motorsport News and its Streetwise section of new-vehicle reviews and industry news, done stints at Carguide and World of Wheels, and currently works as an award-winning freelancer for AutoGuide.com, MSN Autos Canada and more. He’s also a first-time father, so don’t be surprised if the frustration of properly installing a car seat creeps into his work.Mark’s Recent Reviews
