Common Tread

Lance Oliver

TeamZilla Managing Editor

The exact year is uncertain, but Lance has been riding motorcycles roughly since the earth's crust cooled enough to stop melting the tires. He has worked as a news reporter, writer, editor, and translator (habla español) for almost as long. Now, he's RevZilla's chief word guy, making sure the stories make sense and our lawyer doesn’t receive any notices of libel suits.
