Leadership

Alistair Weaver

SVP, Content & Editor-in-Chief

I've been working in automotive media since my college days (a long time ago) and today have the honor of leading Edmunds' Content Team across the written word, video and social. A dream job.

Jodi Tourkow

Executive Director, Written Content

I've been bringing stories to life for over 25 years. Now, I ensure you get the best content to navigate the road to your perfect ride with confidence. I'm partial to running boards, a good GPS and ample console storage.

Brendan Thomas

Executive Director, Video Content

My whole career has been content creation; in fact, it's allowed me to work in 17 countries and live on three continents. From cooking to cars, and from TV to online, there's always a story to tell.

Andrew White

Senior Director, Social Media

I manage Edmunds' social media and it's my mission to communicate the editorial team's expertise to a wider audience. I care about great storytelling, good golf swings, great movies, and being a dad to my two young daughters.

Vehicle Testing

Jonathan Elfalan

Director, Vehicle Testing

I've been testing cars for over 20 years and lead the best test team in the biz, combining a passion for precision driving with a dedication to uncovering real-world insights through data. Off-duty, I love traveling with my family, surfing, and training BJJ.

Mike Schmidt

Associate Director, Vehicle Operations

I was watching Dad work on our car the first time I heard him cuss, followed quickly by, "Don't tell your mom." We laughed, and cars have been special to me since. I joined the Edmunds test team in 2006.

Kurt Niebuhr

Manager, Vehicle Testing

I've been putting cars through their paces since I was 15 (sincere apologies to my Saab 900S and Pontiac Trans Am). These days, I do it properly and with the best testing team in the business.

Reese Counts

Senior Vehicle Test Editor

I joined Edmunds more than a decade ago as an intern, and now I'm testing cars with the best team around. If it's not cars, you'll find me obsessing over guitars or the perfect cup of coffee.

Gabriel Vega Cortés

Vehicle Test Editor

My role is nothing short of a dream job. From testing cars at our private track to evaluating them on the road, I can't think of anything else I'd rather do. But more than putting in miles behind the wheel, I love contributing to Edmunds' testing database, which spans decades and includes some of the best cars ever made.

Alberto Hernandez

Vehicle Testing Coordinator

I grew up around cars and spent plenty of weekends at junkyards and driveways wrenching alongside my dad. Today, the automotive world has become my life, and nothing makes me happier than to see my kid learn to love it as much as I do.

Reviews, News & Advice

Brent Romans

Director, Written Content

I oversee Edmunds' written content to make sure it's helpful and easy to understand. I love helping you figure out what your next great car will be. Outside of work, you'll find me doing martial arts and searching for the perfect pour-over coffee recipe.

Steven Ewing

Director, Editorial Content

I've been covering the auto industry for more than half my life. From testing cars in the Arctic to spilling a beer on an F1 driver at Le Mans (sorry!), there's always an interesting story to tell.

Bryn MacKinnon

Manager, Editorial Production

Think of me as air traffic control for the written content we create, assigning writers to reviews, making sure the editors have what they need, and adjusting the pace of our production when necessary.

Cameron Rogers

Manager, Written Content

I've worked on the Edmunds Content Team for over a decade; even though it's my dream job to write about cars, it's the people on our team and the desire for continuous improvement that get me fired up every day. Well, that and chasing my extremely active kid around the house. Are you reading this, Brent? I really need a vacation.

Keith Buglewicz

Managing Editor

I've wanted to write about cars since I was a high schooler reading buff books. Over the years, I've covered aftermarket performance, automotive news, and written plenty of new car reviews. Somewhere along the way, I also got pretty handy with a camera. Today, working with this great team at Edmunds as a managing editor is the fulfilment of that dream job I had way back when I was a teenager.

Ronald Montoya

Manager, Consumer Tips & Advice

I manage the consumer advice content on Edmunds. Helping people make car buying decisions is like solving a real-life word problem, and I love the challenge. Wants+needs+emotions÷budget = your next car.

Brian Wong

Senior Reviews Editor and Video Host

Edmunds' emphasis on testing and data appeals to my core, and I enjoy weaving those things into our written and video content. I love convertibles (the smaller the better) and hate paying for parking, so Los Angeles is both the right and wrong city for me.

Nick Yekikian

Sr. News Editor

I help run Edmunds' news coverage, test the latest and greatest, and occasionally host videos. If I'm not behind the wheel, I'm probably at the gym, snowboarding, or fixing something I (probably) broke.

Jacob Sundstrom

Editor

I write stories about cars that I drive, especially the vehicles in our One-Year Road Test fleet. When I'm not driving cars or writing about them, I'm probably yelling at any number of my favorite sports teams.

Carrie Kim

Creative Services Project Manager

I've been writing about cars for over a decade. I'm a big fan of massaging seats, adaptive cruise control and wireless CarPlay, but helping parents find their unique family wagon is my favorite.

Kathleen Clonts

Copy Chief

I'm a certified word nerd with roots in the Motor City. When I'm not doting on Mochi the Chihuahua, I'm ensuring all our content meets our editorial, grammatical and timeliness standards.

Video

Amy Silliman

Director, Production

I’ve spent nearly 20 years producing content around the globe for brands and studios alike. Today, I lead the production team making videos that entertain, inform, and bring big ideas to life — on time, on budget!

Shannon Lane

Senior Production Manager

I've come a long way from the rear-facing "wayback" seats in my mom's old station wagon. For the past 15 years, I've been in the driver's seat, navigating productions big and small, on television, in sports, and in the automotive world.

Will Kaufman

Video Content Manager

If you're mad about something in our videos, I'm the guy to send your angry e-mail. If I'm not at my desk working on video strategy and creative, I'm at my bench tinkering with RC cars with my kid.

RJ Glass

Post-Production Manager

After two decades of working in commercial post-production, I'm on a new adventure to help the Edmunds Content Team build our audience online. I support video teams and empower them to do their best work.

John Adolph

Supervising Producer

I grew up at the drag strip and riding dirt bikes. Mix that with a love of photography, and I found a career of filming cars on track and trucks on trail. Good times.

Scott Jacobs

Supervising Producer

Between growing up on going to the SF Auto Show during Thanksgiving and devouring magazines that renewed every Christmas, I've had a love affair with cars since I could crawl.

Charlie Barkhorn

Senior Producer, Cinematographer

I'm a cinematographer and senior producer with over 15 years of visual storytelling behind the camera.

Tony Gardiner

Senior Producer, Cinematographer

Motorsport-obsessed filmmaker who grew up around racetracks long before I ever got to race myself. I've been lucky enough to work across everything from TV drama to motorsport documentaries.

Chris Webster

Sr. Video Editor

I am a senior video editor who cut my teeth in sports TV and now brings that same energy and precision to automotive content. Outside of the video cutting timeline, I'm a gamer, a creative tinkerer, and a full-time dad running on caffeine and side quests.

Luke Huisman

Video Editor

Raised on cars and music, I've spent over a decade working as a video editor while proudly being a dog dad and devoted F1 fan.

Alex Rodriguez

Video Editor

When I'm not cutting Edmunds content, I fill my time as a wannabe race car driver/drifter with too many creative side quests. Since 2018, I have combined my lifelong passion for cars and video into my profession.

Natalie Gerber

Video Editor

At Edmunds, I combine my years of experience editing motorsports with my skills in creating both informative and entertaining content. When I'm not at the keyboard, I enjoy spending time with my two kids.

Nik Kuo

Video Editor

I've spent nearly 20 years focused on three passions: video editing, ice hockey and food. When I'm not polishing an Edmunds video, I'm watching the NHL — or thinking about lunch.

David Lucio

Post Production Producer

Amateur photographer and cook, intermediate gamer and archer, professional post-production problem solver. I love working in video and bringing stories to life on screen.

Duncan Brady

Script Writer

I've been covering cars for my whole career and these days, I work as the lead script writer for the Edmunds YouTube channel. If I'm not writing, I'm thinking about game design, developing a new recipe, and hoping my pair of early aughts Porsches don't break.

Cindy Mendoza

Associate Producer

After more than a decade in video production across TV, branded content, and live events, I've honed the ability to juggle logistics and keep productions rolling. Now at Edmunds, I help bring automotive video content to life behind the scenes, keeping shoots in the right lane and helping each project come together.

Anders Doi Minor

Production Coordinator

From the heart of Santo Domingo to the mountains of Aspen, I've worked in film and television in a number of roles while honing my craft as a storyteller. I now help create content for Edmunds and CarMax from sunny Santa Monica — when I'm not on set, I'm at the movies or on my surfboard!
