Junior Writer/Associate Producer

In undergrad, I was the guy you’d run to if you needed a charge because I always had at least a few portable batteries in my bag. A lifelong interest in technology led me to PCMag, where I'm honing my journalism skills while also getting to nerd out about the latest advancements in computer tech. I’m a current PC gamer and a former console gamer with an unhealthy obsession with custom keyboards.

Run into me in PCMag's lab, and I'm usually benchmarking graphics cards, laptops, and desktops. That means I have a deep practical knowledge of testing software and the latest applications, games, and utilities used to generate our performance analyses. If a piece of tech isn't performing as expected, I'll be among the first to know. (You'll also find me hand-modeling for our product reviews, now and then.)

The Tech I Use

I use an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti in my gaming rig at home. I use a Sony Alpha a6400 for amateur photography, but I’ll more often than not rely on the camera on my Google Pixel 9a. I also rely on a pair of Sony WH-CH700N wireless headphones to stream podcasts and cancel out noise on my daily NYC subway commute.

In my downtime, I like to play video games and tinker with home networking solutions. My current obsession is building up a media library on my TerraMaster F4-423 NAS to cut out expensive subscription services.
