Hey, I’m Damon Lavrinc, and before we get any further, it’s pronounced Lav-rinse.

I hold down the senior editor position at Autoblog.com, handle many of the day-to-day operations of the site and focus on automotive technology and connectivity. So, part gearhead, part geek. Because everyone needs a tagline.

I’ve written for a variety of publications both online and off, including the late Sport Compact Car, a few buff books and Autoblog's tech-centric sibling site, Engadget.

My wife and I share a house in Oakland, CA with an 85-pound mutt and a 10-pound Russian Blue. I work out of an office in my garage and have a creek in my backyard. That last bit pleases me to no end.

I’m on Facebook and Google Plus, but rarely check either, so the best way to keep up with me is on Twitter and Tumblr. If you need to chat, drop a me a line at damonlavrinc [at] gmail.
