Now an accomplished automobile journalist, appraiser, ICJAG concours judge and collection manager, Steven always enjoyed every element the collector car world has to offer. He first started his career as the Operations Manager for T. Rutlands West before broadening his expertise, knowledge and experience as an International Advertising Account Executive for Keith Martin’s Sports Car Market Magazine. Then opened and ran the Ferrari service and restoration shop at GTO Engineering Los Angeles before becoming the Sales & Marketing Manager of Mohr Imports in Monterey, California. He started Veloce Valuations to give back to the community by assisting estates and insurance companies in need or professional valuation guidance.
