Hello, I’m Reilly. I grew up outside of Detroit and now live in San Francisco with my lovely and talented wife, Andrea, and mischievous and fluffy dog, Walter. This is my personal blog, a way for me to work out ideas and angles I have about the stuff I think about during the day. I am in love with transportation, copywriting, behavioral studies and storytelling. When I was young I found out I was dyslexic, something that I’ve learned is actually a feature, not a bug. It slowed down my reading time, but it gave me the blessing of angular comprehension. Ironically, I ended up learning the value of this in geometry class and then transferred those skills to writing.
Professionally, my background is in automobiles, media, building communities and telling stories. I was previously Editorial Director at AOL for their automotive group, General Manager and Editor at Winding Road / NextScreen, and Communications Manager for GM Racing (Corvette C5-R factory program and NASCAR). Along the way I’ve worked on some amazing projects and launched a few of my own. Recently I built Carmagnum along with my friend Nate Luzod and we just launched it into beta. With my friends David Emanuel and Tim Behrsin, I developed an emergency medical response app called Medlert 911+ that’s set to debut in the iTunes App Store soon. In January 2012, I joined Stanford University to lead their Revs automotive program as Executive Director.
