As NerdsModo’s editor of how to content, I have to cover a wide variety of topics related to Apple products and also make our stories accessible to everyday users. Considering my history as a technical writer, copywriter, and all-around freelancer covering baseball, comics, and more at various outlets, I am used to making myself into an expert.

My job as how-to guru means I use just about every Apple product and service, so I can figure out how everything works. I work from a MacBook Air running macOS Tahoe, but also have a very large iMac and Apple silicon MacBook Pro. I also have an iPhone 16 Pro for personal use and use a iPhone 17 Pro Max for additional testing. For iPadOS coverage, an iPad Pro with M2 works like a charm, though it’s already becoming a little long in the tooth.

My desktop situation includes a dual display setup with an Apple Studio Display. I also use a Magic Trackpad, Magic Mouse and a Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad (my favorite Apple keyboard; I love it but my wife hates it!). I’m a recent convert from wired headphones; I have AirPods Pro 3 for personal use and have taken to the AirPods Max 2 for work.

Whenever I have a second to myself, I’m probably gaming on my Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, or Xbox Series S. I also still have a bunch of classic consoles lying around as well.
