About OTS

Robert’s professional background is in brand strategy, but his passion for cars has existed for as long as he can remember. He learned to drive stick at 13 on his family’s ’52 MG TD (which proved to be a fairly harrowing experience). That same MG became the namesake for the blog he began writing at 17, The Four Speed, where he published photojournalistic vehicle drive reviews and news articles throughout college. After graduating in 2019 from Swarthmore College with a dual BA in Biology and Political Science, Robert worked at Cunningham Collective, a boutique Brand Strategy Consulting firm run by the industry-renowned Andy Cunningham in the Bay Area, CA. In 2021 Robert co-founded VALT Auto Club, a Bay Area based premium automotive club and brand. Robert also works on commercial video and photo productions occasionally, predominantly in the automotive industry.
