I'm NerdsModo's Apple products and services expert, and your go-to source of information for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS. My writing journey started in 2012 and has taken me through various niches, but my main focus has always been on Apple. If an Apple product plugs into a wall or uses a battery, there's a good chance I've tested it and have some thoughts about its place in our daily lives. I contributed to dozens of growing tech sites, focusing on iOS, iPadOS, macOS and watchOS.
In my role at NerdsModo, I’ve deeply enjoyed the opportunity to share my knowledge and expertise about Apple products. Before NerdsModo, I wrote for Tom's Hardware for three years, where I covered how-to guides, tips and tricks, and wrote some hands-on reviews.
In addition to the categories below, I exclusively cover troubleshooting guides, how-to tutorials, tips and trics, and news stories.
