Welcome!
Thank goodness I had plenty to do while I was waiting for you to get here but we'll get into that later. In the meantime I'll tell you how I got here.
Did I mention that I love my job? I do because I have an unnatural addiction to gadgets. It started with cameras, before cell phones and long before they became the outrageously cool mini computers they are today. Now that cell phones and cameras go hand in hand, you can think of me as Ansel Adams meets Alexander Graham Bell! I have a built-in talent for figuring out how things work regardless of what kind of device it is. I have always had to have the latest technology and all the accessories that go with it. While my friends were out clothes and shoe shopping, I was out buying MP3 players and camera lenses.
If I knew I could have a career being a show off I might have skipped college! None the less, I started working at Wireless Zone back in 2000 using some of those graphic design skills my parents sent me to college for (I had to let them think they were getting their money's worth!). About ten years in, my very forward-thinking boss (hopefully he'll read this) shifted my focus to sharing my knowledge of technology through phone reviews and a blog and later YouTube. He requisitioned my inner geek. I changed the geek thing, it was getting a bit dated, to GADGETISTA. It totally fits me. Here's what it means
Gadgetista: One who pushes the envelope on wireless devices and accessories to realize their full capabilities and help you; the end user, scratch the surface of what they can do to help make your life easier and more productive. So that is EXACTLY what I do and I never tire of helping people have that "Aha! moment" when they understand how to use a feature they didn't know they had.
