About TEAM KILLEEN

TEAM KILLEEN consists of the husband and wife team of Scott and BJ Killeen. Started in 2004, TEAM KILLEEN encompasses all photography, editorial, and broadcast work created by both Scott and BJ Killeen, either separately or together. 

BJ Killeen
BJ Killeen, one of only a handful of female automotive journalists in the country, is well known in the industry. The former Road Test Editor of Motor Trend magazine, BJ now freelances for numerous automotive titles, as well as writing for automotive websites such as cars.about.com, Pickuptruck.com, and Los Angeles magazine. She currently is the Road Test Editor and co-host of Drivers Talk Radio, a nationally syndicated radio show that is heard in over a dozen markets across the country.

After receiving her degree in English from UCLA, BJ joined the staff of Motorcyclist magazine, where she cultivated a fondness for motorcycles and dirt bikes. She then moved on to Motor Trend magazine, where she worked her way up to become the road test editor, and was responsible for writing many monthly columns, road tests and comparison tests, as well as voting in the prestigious Car, Truck, and Import Car of the Year competitions. BJ also is the stand-in co-host of the nationally syndicated radio program “America on the Road,” with a listening audience of 3.5 million, as well as a guest host on the “The Car Show” automotive radio program. BJ also has appeared on television as an authority in her field, most recently on “Home Matters” on the Discovery Channel, as well as on a variety of morning news shows across the country.

BJ has toured the country as a training specialist for a variety of manufacturers to help introduce new products to sales consultants. BJ spent four years as the product knowledge expert for Lincoln-Mercury in-dealership training programs. In addition, BJ has worked as on-air talent for many product training videos and competitive comparisons. She has done the principal product training on all current Lincoln Mercury products, as well as many Ford vehicles. Other training clients include Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, Cadillac, Acura, Mazda, and Toyota.

As a freelance writer, BJ has completed numerous writing assignments for firms such as dkn Marketing, PBM Marketing, Jackson-Dawson Communications, Sandy Corporation, Affluent Living Publications, Paine and Associates, and Young and Rubicam. She is a multiple winner of the prestigious IAMC awards, including the gold medal for Best of Radio for 2004, and is a judge for numerous automotive competitions, including Concept Vehicle of the Year and International Car of the Year. BJ also has done freelance writing for many of the major automotive manufacturing companies.

A big racing fan, her love of automobiles started early, having been exposed to the field through her father, who owned an assortment of collector classics, such as a ’61 Austin-Healey 3000, a ’64 1/2 Mustang, and other vehicles. BJ, a native Southern Californian, is married to automotive photographer Scott Killeen, lives in Sherman Oaks, California, and is a two-year past president of the Motor Press Guild, the organization that represents almost 750 automotive journalists and industry representatives across the country.
