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.

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.
