Bio
Leslie Belfor
Vince is one of the smartest businessmen I have ever known. He has integrity beyond reproach, is down to earth, and loves what he does - which explains why he is so good at it. If I could work with him again, I would jump at the chance.
Jason Hackett
Vince possesses deep knowledge, extensive experience and a track record of success in every aspect of the publishing business. I learned more in less than two years under Vince's leadership than perhaps the five previous years. He trusted and empowered me to succeed and opened numerous doors for me. To this day, I frequently quote his words of wisdom. Vince's entrepreneurial spirit, passion for the written word and, of course, expert knowledge as an automotive journalist make him a uniquely valuable professional.
