Donald Osborne

Contributing Editor

A native of New York City, Donald has contributed to SCM since 1993. His particular interest is in Italian cars (he has owned many Alfas, Lancias & Fiats), but any strange or bizarre vehicle with almost no actual resale value has a way of finding its way into his garage.

A graduate of the Hartt College of Music, where he earned a BA in Opera, Donald pursued a career as a baritone, which culminated with his solo debut at the Metropolitan Opera in New York. He remained for two seasons, then decided that the bright lights of the stage were not for him after all.

He has been active in the field of marketing communications and advertising for many years, and currently acts as a consultant to companies large and small. In addition, he has started Automotive Valuation Services as a certified auto appraiser.

All this experience has served him well in his duties over the years with SCM—and in addition, he sings a mean “Happy Birthday.”
