Biography: Josh Davidson was born a Ford guy. All of his childhood toys had wheels. His first real car was a fifteen year-old BMW. He owned a diesel and high-performance engine rebuilding shop for eight years. Trading his wrenches for a pen, he spent two years editing automotive books for Bentley Publishers before moving to Michigan to write speeches and manage publications at Chrysler, General Motors and AAA (with a wrong turn at IBM in between). He has written for the Atlantic Monthly, Automobile magazine and Winding Road, as well as winning many awards for fiction, nonfiction and publications.

While working in the auto industry, Josh came to admire GM’s pioneering role in the development of business practices and processes that delivered unforgettable products, solid value and meaningful service to generation after generation of automobile buyers in every category.

Josh is currently preparing for publication of the GM Centennial audiobook edition of My Years with General Motors by Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., updated with new commentary by today’s industry experts. It will be available in July, 2008.
