Dave VanderWerp

Dave VanderWerp has spent more than 15 years in the automotive industry, in varied roles from engineering to product consulting, and he now leads Car and Driver's vehicle-testing efforts. Dave got his very lucky start at C/D by happening to submit an unsolicited résumé at just the right time to land a part-time road warrior job when he was a student at the University of Michigan, where he immediately became enthralled with the world of automotive journalism.
