About Jeremy Cato

Jeremy Cato has been covering the auto industry, its products, services and people, for 30 years. Cato has won more than two dozen awards, including three times being named Automotive Journalist of the Year. His online, print and television work has appeared not just in Canada, but around the world.

Cato was born in Montreal and grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. While he’s proud of his two degrees from the University of British Columbia, it was harder and certainly more dangerous to graduate from the Spenard-David School of Racing, the Skip Barber Racing School and a number of other driving schools.
