Writing

Computing and technology

Computing has been a passion ever since I put together my first desktop in fifth grade, and has only grown over time as I’ve become more embedded in the enthusiast computing world. Across my time at several outlets I’ve attended major press events, including CES, E3, Penny Arcade Expo, and PDXLAN. I’ve interviewed game developers and researchers at companies like Intel, AMD, Nvidia, Oculus, and Microsoft Game Studios, as well as enthusiast and community members in gaming and computing.

As part of my role at Digital Trends, I was also asked to stand in front of the camera and provide succinct product review videos and instructional guides, edited by an outstanding team of producers.

In addition to regular news, reviews, and op-eds for Digital Trends, I also co-hosted the weekly computing podcast, Close to the Metal. Each episode dug deep into a single issue, exploring as many facets as we could, and taking viewer questions while streaming live to Facebook and YouTube.

Vaporizers

As the world of herbal vaping has grown, so has the interest in technology and major players in the field. In the Planet of the Vapes online vape store’s blog, I run hands-on tests, snap photos, and review the clouds of the latest and greatest from PAX, Storz & Bickel, and Arizer.

Gaming

High-end computing and gaming go hand-in-hand, and my writing has taken me to major gaming conventions for the last several years. I’ve attended Pax West, E3, and Oculus Connect to experience the latest games, and enjoyed interviews with prominent developers, engineers, and representatives in the space.
