Tiny Toy Car is growing with the addition of Mike Austin as our new Director of Creative Strategy. Mike brings nearly 12 years of automotive experience with him, having previously worked as Technical Editor at Car and Driver and most recently as Automotive Editor at Popular Mechanics. "I'm excited to have Mike on board," said Tiny Toy Car Founder Ray Wert. "His background and unparalleled technical knowledge give us and our brand partners all the resources they need to tell awesome stories in an authentic way."

Under this newly-created role, Mike will leverage his editorial expertise to craft creative automotive programs for our publisher partners. In addition, Mike will serve as technical advisor to the company.

Mike will remain based in the Detroit, Michigan area to provide a constant supply of craft beer to the Tiny Toy Car headquarters in Los Angeles, California, and to allow Ray to make sarcastic jokes about the weather, all while secretly wishing he was there for easy access to surfing and tacos.
