Niel Stender

Dover, New Hampshire

Summary

As an influential and creative automotive journalist and editor, I have over six years of cumulative experience driving brand awareness, search engine optimization (SEO), and website page visits to diverse audiences.


By exhibiting my passion for high-performance automotive products, combined with keen mechanical acumen, is how I relate to car enthusiasts. Developing content that showcases vehicle specifications, parts, and components, my focus is on enhancing a customer’s shopping experience and purchasing decisions while engaging and retaining loyal readership and page followers.


Incorporating persuasive, investigative techniques (written and verbal), I effectively collaborate with product experts, research and development (R&D), and engineering teams. Being adaptable and flexible, I can work virtually, remotely, and independently.

About Niel

Niel Stender grew up doing replacement work on his 1990 Cherokee and 1989 Starion, so it’s not surprising that he would put his mechanical engineering degree from the University of New Hampshire to use in the car world as a vehicle dynamics engineer. Now engineering sentence structures, his writing infuses his auto experience with his time in marketing and his sales experience. Writing about cars for close to a decade now, he focuses on some of the more technical mechanical systems that are found under the hood and throughout a vehicle.
