Dave Kelley

Dave Kelley (March 17, 1963 - December 28, 2006) was a writer and journalist perhaps best known for his work as an automotive reporter for Fox TV in Austin, Texas, and Detroit, Michigan. Born in Shamrock, Texas, on St. Patrick's Day, 1963, Kelley graduated with honors from Richland High School class of 1981 located in North Richland Hills, Texas. Kelley moved to Austin, Texas where he graduated from the University of Texas in 1985. He began his writing career while a student at UT, publishing his early fiction writing in The Daily Texan.

Kelley was a seven-time winner of Boating Writers International writing awards for his work at Boating World and Boating Life. His work as a marine journalist led to the writing and publication of his book, Living & Working Onboard, in 2003.

A writer of wide-ranging interests and ability, Kelley wrote extensively about recreational astronomy, beer, golf, and travel. His work appeared in numerous magazines ranging from Cabin Life to Robb Report. Much of his writing is available online at Dave Kelley Online, and his automotive work can be seen at Street Beat. In addition to his on-camera work with Fox TV, Kelley wrote a regular column ("Gearing Up") for Voyaging Magazine, and was a senior editor at Boating World.

He lived in Austin, Texas, with his wife, Carey Elder Kelley. Kelley collapsed while jogging on Austin's Town Lake Hike-and-Bike Trail the morning of December 28, 2006. Despite heroic efforts by witnesses, he was not able to be revived.
