Editor
About Me: I’m Al, a Philadelphia-based editor with 18 years in online writing, specializing in manual transmission culture and stick shift storytelling. When not crafting content, I explore Philly’s winding back roads searching for perfect heel-toe downshift opportunities. My passion for the manual driving experience drives every story I tell.
Expertise: I focus on transforming complex automotive concepts and driving techniques into engaging narratives that help enthusiasts master manual driving. My nearly two decades in digital publishing give me unique insight into how driving enthusiasts discover and share their stick shift passion across evolving online media.
Qualifications: My extensive background includes contributions to respected publications like Technabob, Ohgizmo, and Geekalerts, establishing me as a trusted voice in automotive journalism. I bring deep understanding of both manual transmission mechanics and the culture surrounding authentic driving experiences to every piece I write.
