“I know that I know nothing” – Socrates

One could expect that we who work here merely do so to tout our encyclopedic knowledge of things like car stats, gear ratios, race car drivers and lists of car models by manufacturers from across the globe and throughout history. But here’s a shocking admission: we don’t know everything about cars. There’s simply too much history, too many facts, and innumerable significant moments, both personal and public, that focus around the automobile to assimilate.

That won’t stop us, however, from exploring them as much as we can.

AutoKinesis is an automotive culture and lifestyle magazine born out of the love and fascination of cars with the goal of learning as much as we can, experiencing all we’re able to, and having as much fun as possible while doing it.

At AutoKinesis, we wish to make discoveries together, bring along whomever we can for the ride, be it for the casual discussions, the heated arguments, white-knuckle speed, or a simple cruise. Whatever we find out, or whatever ridiculous adventure we go on, we want you to be right there with us.

Enjoy yourself. Buckle in. And welcome.

The  Team

Alex Kalogiannis – Team Principal, EIC

Alex Kalogiannis is a freelance automotive journalist who has written for sites such as Autosavant, as well as the main test driver and writer for The Vigilant Monkey. He is also formerly the automotive writer for Elements magazine, a luxury lifestyle publication.

He is a member of the International Motor Press Assoc. (IMPA), the Madison Avenue Sports Car Driving and Chowder Society (the “Chowder” club), and also of the Vanderbilt Cup Centennial Celebrations held annually on Long Island.

Always up for some kind of event or adventure, Alex spends plenty of time traveling, participating in outdoor events and having a drink with the people he meets along the way.

He spends the rest of his time holed up in his office either playing video games or occasionally doing actual work.

Jon Rouzier – Photographer, Videographer

jon@auto-kinesis.com

After graduating Five Towns College with a bachelor’s degree in film/video, Jon began pursuing his growing interests in photography and quickly realized it was becoming a true passion. Once equipped with the right tools, he took on a number of projects: set photography, music videos, and events of just about any type. Coming from a film background, Jon has always been driven by the story a subject has to offer. It is the same with his photography. Every image is another opportunity to capture a story, and he strives to accomplish that with each new photograph and video.

Victor Kalogiannis – Photographer, Production Manager

victor@auto-kinesis.com

Victor has been with the site since it was just a humble wordpress blog. With a film school background and interests ranging from video games, comics, music, food and obviously cars, he dabbles in a bit of everything. Not only taking photos on numerous events and reviews, V wears many hats, doing all the things that need doing to get the job done. He is also, arguably, the most attractive of the team.
