After starting as an entertainment writer, I eventually landed at Fast Company, where I discovered my calling: tech reviews. From there, I freelanced until I got a full-time gig at Laptop Magazine, where I spent 14 wonderful years playing with all the toys, from laptops to smartphones and virtual reality, among other bits of tech. I'm passionate about reviewing and helping you find your next great gadget. For PCMag, I primarily contribute gaming laptop and content creator laptop reviews using our full spread of benchmarks and hands-on evaluations.
