Experience

Ever since he was a kid, Daniel has had a symbiotic relationship with his electronics, especially his PC and game consoles. Over the years, he's expanded that relationship into an interest in games, hardware, and software, finding the best possible PCs to cover all of his gaming and tinkering needs. He has written gaming and hardware guides for several sites, including TheGamer and DualShockers, and even wrote his master's thesis on the history of Mario games. During his time with Static Media, he has broadened his interests and knowledge further into home appliances, power tools, and automotive safety. He enjoys researching old gaming and PC hardware and peripherals for insight into how people have interfaced with their electronics over the years.

Daniel has a bachelor's degree in psychology from Marist College in Poughkeepsie, New York, and holds a Master of Fine Arts in creative and professional writing from Western Connecticut State University in Danbury, Connecticut.
