I'm a lifetime tinkerer and lover of all gadgets. I prefer to repair rather than replace so I have taken most things apart and sometimes I'm even successful at putting them back together. I live in the Pacific Northwest and when I'm not reviewing gadgets I enjoy hazy IPAs, Pickleball, and disc golf.
