My Experience

I’ve been writing and editing technology content for over five years, most recently as part of PCMag's consumer electronics team, though I also spent several years on the software team. Before PCMag, I worked at Neowin.net, Tom’s Guide, and Laptop Mag. I spend too much of my free time reading forums and blogs about audio and photography.

My Areas of Expertise

• Audio and headphones

• Cameras and lenses

• Live and on-demand video streaming services

• Password managers

• Phones and tablets

The Technology I Use

I use a Lenovo ThinkPad P14s for work and a 2021 Razer Blade 14 for everything else. I also keep a Lenovo Yoga Tab, a first-generation Surface Book, and a Toshiba Chromebook 2 at home. My current phone is a Google Pixel 3, though I’m holding out hope for a Windows Phone revival.

As for software, I use Firefox everywhere I can (including Firefox Focus on mobile), as well as Mullvad VPN and Bitwarden. I rely on Adobe Lightroom to edit photos and Microsoft Excel to manage the rest of my life.

I’m currently split between wired and wireless headphones. I use a Fiio K3 amp/DAC (or a Zune HD) for wired sets including the Sony MDR-7506 headphones, Pinnacle P1 earbuds, and Audio-Technica ATH-IM01 in-ear monitors. For wireless audio, I switch between the Master and Dynamic MW07 Go earbuds and the Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones.

My current camera is a Nikon D500, though I’m looking to eventually jump to a mirrorless system.
