I grew up next to a garage in Westchester County, making a constant pest of myself but learning the ins and outs of engines and car maintenance and repair. After a 12-year stint in Manhattan putting bands together and enjoying years of performance at clubs, colleges, the former Soviet Union and bar mitzvahs as well as 4 albums, I became a full-time writer for the NY Daily News, where I helmed "ROAD TEST" and "YOUR DRIVE" from 2000-2012, on and off, as well as freelancing for the NY Times, Guitar Aficionado, Newsweek, Glamour and other assorted media, here I am at Forbes.com and I couldn't be any happier. (Well, maybe a LITTLE.) I appreciate you reading - drop a line at JoshMaxPower@gmail.com if you feel to.
