Experience

I’m the managing editor of the Help & How-To team at NerdsModo.com. Reading this during the day? Then you've caught me testing Apple gear and editing iPhone tutorials, Mac How-To guides, and tons of other Apple How-To pieces. (Reading this at night? Then I’m probably dreaming about all those cool Apple products.) I’ve covered the consumer Apple world as an editor since 2010.

Through my years as an editor, I've tested and wrote about many, many dozens of Apple products and I am always happy to share my expert tips and tricks on iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS.
