03 / BEHIND THE CAMERA

Dad. Maker.
Gear guy.
Always curious.

I'm a Pittsburgh-based dad and creator who likes figuring out how things work, trying useful gear, and sharing the experience.

My world includes coffee, brewing, watches, beekeeping, shooting, and hands-on projects. I also enjoy everyday carry (EDC) and tactical gear. That gives me real settings and real interests to build content around.

My style is casual, direct, and a little funny. I want viewers to understand the product and feel like they're hearing from someone they could actually know.
