The OZCAR Team

Here you can find the writers behind the AWESOME this website has to offer. We assure you there are many more contributing writers but we just don't have the time this year to do a write up on it. We also apologize for not putting up any photos with the below bios, and yes we know you fans are dying to see our faces. But at the moment we will have to pass on this as we had been informed by our designer that our photos aren't web-ready yet (that's a nice way of saying he doesn't want to uglify this page by posting our mugs on it).

Toby Hudson a.k.a Tobi Raikonnen: Editor-in-Chief

When Toby was a young child, he would frequently jump in his mom's car, put it to 'N' and roll it onto the street. He later discovered how good he was at this and naturally automotive journalism should be his next step. Since January 2008, Toby has been a contributing writer as well and is bilingual. He is a member of the AAA (he upgraded from AA just last year). This year Toby has taken on other industries and is a full-time editor on all of OZCAR's sections.

Author Profiles

Troy is the Chief Evangelist for our business section. Recognized as one of the world's most prestigious business authors, he was also named a finalist in the Best Chairman category in the 2005 Australian Smart Business Awards. Hailed as "the business world's own Oscars", the Australian Smart Business Awards is a national, all-encompassing business awards program honoring great performances in the world of business. 

Marcus Heinz a.k.a Marcus Schumacher: Desk Editor

Working as a specialized auto journalist for the past 10 years, Marcus has held the position of chief writer with numerous publications in Sun City S.A., and has also written hundreds of articles for international publications. He has yet to get his 3 books published, or so we believe, as he hasn't updated us about this in the past 10 minutes.*

Dolph Henderson - Health Editor/Consultant

As an independent health writer, his singular ability to comprehend and translate technical research papers into consumer friendly literature is his biggest strength. With a diverse academic background and professional experience in health and medicine, Henderson delivers high quality, 'health' focused articles without the sugar-coating.

Our resident small business guru, Andy has spent the last 14 years helping entrepreneurs set up SMEs across Europe. He has since retired and now writes of his vast experiences.

Alex Stefanos a.k.a Alex McRae: Resident Car Tester

Alex's car reviews have to be the most detailed write-ups on the internet today. With his painstaking approach to testing and writing about cars, our editors sometime take days to review just one of Alex's submissions. We love you for that Alex, and really hope you would once in a while take us desk jockeys out on your road tests. Don't get us wrong, we were thrilled when you offered the entire staff platoon to go on a road test of the MB minivan, and also the entire hour you spent trying to see how many of us you could pack into it. But a Ferrari or Porsche would be a nice change.

If chic has a name, it's Sara. Sara Hooper heads the fashion and beauty department at OZCAR and is always out shopping, at the company's expense of course. If there is a new product out there that claims to do miracles she's put it to the test. If there's a catwalk launch for a new designer brand, you will find here there front row and centre jotting away.

Maya Agostini a.k.a Maya Herara: Resident Bike Tester

Here is what you would call a double-threat. First off she is the only permanent female staff on ozCarGuide, secondly she is the only one with balls to road test bikes to their physical limits (since we are saying this metaphorically, the two threats naturally don't contradict themeselves). If she can get her hands on a bike, any bike, she will test it to the max. You can catch her midday in our office car lot doing wheelies if the test tracks are fully booked. So you bike enthusiast will never have to worry about waiting long periods for a new review. Now that's what we call commitment (Maya Herara does not commit to saying she does bike tests in our commercial parking lot, because that is obviously illegal and childish).

William Gates: Tech Department & Gadgets Tester

As a staff and freelance journalist, Wiliam has written for a wide range of magazines on subjects including food and travel. But due to his namesake, we only publish tech & gadgets related submissions from him. Sorry Bill.

Michael Alonso a.k.a Michael Alonso (his nickname is his real name because he's that cool)

On and off we get a few submissions from our correspondent in Europe. He is Italian, we know this from the various accidental Italian phrases our editors need to look up and translate in his submissions. We do our best but sometimes we just can't figure them out and let them through. Our Italian readers know what we mean. Graht-see-a!

Al Haskvitz a.k.a The Car Family

Our contributing writer from USA. Al is the highest educated of us all. With his own blog, Al is a school teacher and the only one of us inducted into the Education Hall of Fame. His unique car reviews explore each model from 4 different point of views i.e. mom, dad, working daughter and teenage son. We are not sure how he gets his whole family in on his road tests, or if he just has multiple personalities, but his submissions are perfectly written and don't even go through our editors. Thanks Al!

Ron Burgundy - Pseudonym for Press Release Submissions

You didn't really think we had the legendary Ron Burgundy working here at OZCAR did you? Ron Burgundy is just our pseudonym for press releases submitted to us from PR agents.
