I'm Adam, a recent graduate of the Jack Valenti School of Communication at the University of Houston. During my years spent delivering auto industry analysis and commentary, I've most enjoyed connecting impassioned car enthusiasts with the brands they love.

I've helped GM connect with fans via live video during the Camaro launch, webcast and live-Tweeted a cross-country drive in the Ford Fiesta, and even microblogged my experience drifting a pre-production Mustang in Japan. My #firstshots campaign aims to bring -- and succeeds in bringing -- the first live photos of vehicles revealed at auto shows. At the New York International Auto Show, RebelIndustries noticed my unprompted interaction with Mazda fans and subsequently invited me to run Mazda's Twitter feed for the brief hours before my outbound flight.

Reaching car buyers via newsprint, digital ink and broadcast television has always been a rush, but I recognize that I'm most exhilarated -- and effective -- when acting as a brand ambassador. I moved to Detroit to pursue a full-time career in automotive public relations. I'm always looking to for new allies in the fight to save car culture!
