My
varied background ranges from entrepreneur, to that of CEO
of a venture-based firm employing 30 professionals with a
leadership position in a $6B market. As an early adopter of
computer environments, the web, together with many years of
practical experience of collector markets, I am able to provide
a unique bridge between new and old economies.
I am the founder and publisher of Mobilia® Magazine,
a leading
automotive title from 1993 to 2000. Our team uniquely targeted
the magazine's editorial to an audience beyond the immediate market
of automobilia collectors, but successfully to a broader
audience of car enthusiasts. This formula included extensive
onsite auction coverage of all the leading houses, and myriad boutique firms.
The editorial mix also required a regular column connecting
the market for auto artifacts with the full size specimens:
"AutoTalk" ran for over 30 issues and featured
topics ranging from hot rodding, restoration, and the
auction scene, to designers, online shopping, and marque
related topics. Click

In 1994, the Mobilia team developed the web's first
specialty automotive website
Circulation efforts for Mobilia® Magazine culminated in a unique direct response campaign that grew the subscriber base to over 24,000 and earned our team a winning position for the 1996 Folio Magazine Gold
Award for high-yield direct marketing.
In 1999, I was invited to join the judging team for the Duesenberg
class at the prestigious Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance
held annually in Monterey, California. I also consult with seasoned collectors intent on acquiring or selling exclusive vehicles. My club memberships include AACA, ACD, CCCA, to name a few.
Prior activities for Killorin included role as founder and CEO of research
firm to analyze and publish computer industry newsletters/books.
From billets to business plans, I can apply my valued
automotive contacts, expertise, and working knowledge
to increase your firm's sales and improve its market
position.
Together with entrepreneurial success and a few speed bumps
along the way, I am uniquely qualified to help your firm avoid the pitfalls while maximizing returns.
