Brief description: Will grew up an automotive enthusiast in Chicago, with parents that were not enthusiasts, dreaming of working in the car business. He earned his Mechanical Engineering degree from the University of Illinois at Champaign/Urbana and then went to work on a small SCCA racing team. Soon after, he got a job as the Technical Editor for the racecar and tech cult-classic Circle Track magazine in the late 1980s. He worked full-time in the magazine business for the next 10 years, writing tech for Circle Track, Rod & Custom, Hot Rod, and Motor Trend's Truck Trend magazine. In 2000 he went to work for General Motors as a Design Release Engineer in their Structures and Closures area (bodies and doors). He worked through the Engineering ranks up to Lead Design Engineer and in 2003 he became the Program Manager at the GM Performance Parts division.
Review Quotes: "How to Build High-Performance Chevy LS1/LS6 V-8s is worth its weight in gold, if only for the step-by-step engine removal sequences for Corvettes and the steel-bodied GM vehicles that use that same engine platform."--Scott Ross "Corvette Fever" (3/1/2008 12:00:00 AM)
