An avid automotive enthusiast, Chris brings his unique perspective and writing to Truckblog. Chris was the sole creator of one of the largest online community websites for automotive enthusiasts. He was also an editor, photographer and writer for a national print magazine and brings years of experience and understanding, keeping the Truckblog machine running smoothly. In addition to being a Co-Founder and Editor of Truckblog, Chris' other responsibilities include web development and design. As the sole inventor of "WebBoard", one of the first available web-based forum software packages during the Internet boom of the mid-90's, Chris continually strives to push the envelope of online community development. His past life during the late 90's creating four developer news sites (essentially news blog sites, later sold to internet.com) helps bring Chris' past and present together at Truckblog, affording him a new platform to be creative.

Name: Jason Gillmore (2K BEAST)
Title: Photographer
Location: California

Define punishment. Jason Gillmore lived across the road from the other Truckblog staffer sharing his name, and if that isn't punishment for doing something bad in a past life, we don't what is. Jason is no stranger to the automotive aftermarket either and his last project vehicle, a 2000 Ford Super Duty wrapped in alien skin, was featured at both the 2003 and 2004 SEMA shows in Las Vegas, NV. Gillmore, an avid enthusiast and builder, has teamed up with Truckblog to provide us with more SoCal show coverage than we can shake a stick at.

Name: Denny Hao (DrSpeed)
Title: Photographer
Location: Washington

When you see Denny covering your show, you would think he's right at home with the camera in his hands. When you find out he's graduated from UC Berkeley with a BS in Mechanical Engineering, you will not even bat an eye. When you see a massive diesel Ford Super Duty rolling on 40's down the Houston freeways, well that's just Texas right? When you put all this together you will think you have crossed into an alternate universe.

That's right, Truckblog is truly unique in the fact that we have the only Chinese guy that drives a monster truck instead of a Civic!

Denny, a California native and now transplanted to Washington State, is truly outside of his element at family reunions when he accidentally rolls over twelve of his cousin's Hondas while trying to get off the driveway. Denny is one of our Truckblog photographers (it's the perpetual tourist in him) and contributes to our growing online article collection and has earned the title of Photographer (OGWAFBT).

Name: Brian Olhausen (BrianO)
Title: Photographer
Location: California

Ever since he could drive, Brian has been into anything automotive. He has always wanted to know how things work. His first truck, a 1999 F-150, was his guinea pig and he still has it today. It looks better than the day he drove it home! Working for the local family business has helped Brian with the financial part of customizing his truck. Lifted trucks have always been his favorite type of truck, although, those ground scraping bagged trucks are cool too. As the market has developed and grown, he has found his ways into the industry. When the opportunity to join Truckblog was put in front of him, how could he resist? Being a part of Truckblog is something that keeps him looking forward to the future, and keeps him on the edge of the hot new trends out there.
