Truckin' Magazine Staff Page
Editor: Steve Warner
Steve has been around custom trucks and cars his entire life beginning at early age. At the tender age of 13 he learned to drive (Don't tell Johnny Law) on the back lots of Warner Brothers movie studio on the cult film classic "Christine." That and completely assisting in the building of Barbara Streisand's '32 Dodge street rod. He hot rodded a well-warmed Chevy Nova and blew up more than a couple of engines which lead to his obsession with trucks as he needed one to haul parts around from the Nova. Now he reflects on trucks as both for work and play while still looking cool and has owned all makes and models. His current obsession is his lifted Chevy 2500 Duramax he uses to haul his color-matched Whipple Supercharged 1000 hp Carrera Sport Cat boat. Steve heads Truckin' and loves and respects all his employees, even the crazy ones with their equally crazed ideas for custom trucks.

Senior Editor: Dan Ward
Born and raised in Savannah, Georgia, trucks were always a part of Dan's life. Ever since he was 16, he couldn't wait to get to California and work for an automotive magazine. Following the advice of a Motor Trend editor in 1996, Dan graduated college with a degree in English Communications, with a minor in Photography and a 7 year background in parts sales. Dan says this journey has been the best thing to happen to him and he loves coming to work everyday. Now he drives his blown, bagged, and flamed S-10 whenever he needs a pick-me-up and has the most fun when behind the camera making the sickest trucks in America look even better.

Senior Technical Editor: Bob Ryder
Bob has been involved in the custom truck scene since when vans were the hot ticket. He was so convinced they'd make a comeback, he tricked out the Truckin' staff Econoline, and has kick-started the custom van trend again. His uniform of choice is a Hawaiian shirt.

Staff Editor: Mark Halvorsen
Mark speaks carefully, drives rapidly, and sacrificed a portion of his hearing to the car audio lifestyle many years ago. His career in automotive journalism began in 1997, five years after he drove from his home state of Florida to Los Angeles in a barely legal 1982 Toyota Celica stuffed with most of his possessions, two friends, and a big, yellow dog. Since then he has photographed and written about cars, trucks, SUVs, boats, and motorized hijinks, and is proud of the fact that he is the only writer in LA not working on a screenplay.

Associate Editor: Harley Camilleri
Harley is the official Truckin' staff bouncer. One look at this guy, and you know he means business. But underneath, he's just a nice friendly guy, unless you start messing with him. His dirty little secret is that he doesn't actually drive a truck! But a Z28 is still American Iron, so we'll let it pass.

Associate Editor: Brandan Gillogly
The newest member of the Truckin' staff, Brandan is a recent Northern California transplant and is constantly explaining to everyone in the office where his hometown of Prunedale, California, is located. Growing up around his brothers' custom Chevy Luvs and Ford Couriers (pea-soup green and a mural is custom, right?), Brandan has trucks in his blood.
