When I began “working” in automotive media in 2001, I hoped that it might lead to my exit from the car industry. It has taken a long time, but between photography and freelance writing for publications like Autoblog Canada, that has gradually become a reality.
The next step is a big piece of the puzzle, as I have just been accepted as a member of the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada, otherwise known as AJAC. This likely won’t change things around The Garage Blog too much, other than a new logo beneath my name on our about page.
For new readers, this is an indication that we are a publication that can be trusted and takes our responsibility to our readers seriously. We have always endeavored to bring our readers quality content and reviews that mean something to car buyers and we will continue to do so.

Awesome!
Congrats Gary, I know you've long wished for membership in AJAC, and I am happy you have finally attained that goal. As your faithful East Coast Editor here in the States, I can only hope this achievement further cements The Garage's reputation as a legitimate source for all things automotive. Well done!
Congratulations Gary. It was good to finally meet you in person this year after a bunch of near misses. All the best for the Garage Blog in the future.
P.S. Need any credentialed freelance photogs for Mosport events? KIDDING!
Gary,
This is a great Achievement buddy! Congrats as you totally deserve it.
I’m proud that I know you as a person and also as a professional. Years of hard work in raising The Garage Blog to the highest standards of Media, promoting the Canadian Motorsport and many other un-bias car reviews.
See you at TMS!
Thanks guys, I truly appreciate it!
Congratulations! You are worthy to have this award. Continue your good attitude and always inspire us.
