I'm a record collector, live music junkie, and proud dad that's on a mission to amplify life's best moments. From perfecting my home audio setup to curating an at-home "DJ set" on Friday night, I believe every experience deserves the right soundtrack. I'm constantly on the hunt for gadgets, apps, and solutions that make parenting smoother, home improvements easier, and family vacations, ski holidays, fishing trips, or golf getaways unforgettable.

My favorite power tool is a pole saw (because chainsaws and ladders don't mix) and I will not rest until I have the perfect lawn. When I'm not reorganizing records or tackling home projects, you can find me sharing unsolicited advice (you're welcome) and first-hand insights with anyone within an earshot. Known for never overdoing anything (wink wink), I blend practical expertise with a passion for living well -- the right tech should simplify life as much as it elevates it.
