Jonathan McGrew has had a steering wheel in his hands since before he could walk. It was inevitable that he would start racing, earning recognition as an SCCA F Production racer in his small (but fast!) MGB-GT. Even when the MGB is off the track under repair, there is a silver Hyundai Elantra that assuages the racing bug during SCCA Rally Cross season. Jonathan is a graduate in Business Marketing from the University of Colorado in Denver, the lead graphic artist for a major printing hardware vendor, and a budding entrepreneur as he begins his car journalism and blogging career and nurtures McGrewGroup Designs. Jonathan lives in Denver, Colorado with assorted cars and a motorcycle, a partner, and a one-eyed Husky named Jack.
