Beth Nichols
Managing Editor
After spending several years at Road & Track and Car and Driver, Beth knows far more about the auto industry than she ever wanted to, including the nonsensical stuff, such as how BMW “solved” its displacement-based model-naming problem in the age of forced induction, why there’s a Turbo trim level for the Porsche Taycan EV, and how anyone thought that the Chevy SSR was a good idea. (Granted, she still struggles with the last one.) She moved away from the Motor City and magazines during the pandemic and now revises, writes, edits and fact-checks content for Telemetry from Colorado.

Drawing on his eclectic background as a mechanical engineer, teacher, coach, sales rep, and account manager, Todd is able to guide brand, agency, creative, and production teams from ideation to execution. As a Detroit native, Todd’s 23 years of experience in the auto industry runs the gamut, from diagnosing tooling challenges on the factory floor to presenting annual media plans in the boardroom.
