My Experience

Computers are my lifelong obsession. I wrote my first laptop review in 2005 for NotebookReview.com, continued with a consistent PC-reviewing gig at Computer Shopper in 2014, and moved to PCMag in 2018. Here, I test and review the latest high-performance laptops and desktops, and sometimes a key core PC component or two. I also review enterprise computing solutions for StorageReview.

I work full-time as a technical analyst for a business software and services company. My hobbies are digital photography, fitness, two-stroke engines, and reading. I’m a graduate of the Rochester Institute of Technology.

The Technology I Use

Lots of cool high-end tech comes through my hands on a weekly basis, reviewing muscular machines for PCMag. But for getting actual reviews done, I keep it simple. A 14-inch HP EliteBook laptop, an Apple iPhone, and Microsoft 365 are my three key work essentials. I use Panasonic Lumix cameras for photography, an Apple Watch for the gym, and an Amazon Kindle for downtime.
