Reviews Editor – Doug Aamoth

Doug Aamoth has worked for just about every consumer electronics store in the history of retail but have you ever worked in one of those stores around the holidays? It takes the fun out of gadgets!

Also, after he graduated from college a long time ago his parents were like, “Now you should go get a real job. Like blogging, for instance. That’s so hot right now. You’ll make tens of thousands of dollars.”

Aamoth has a few balls in the air but the main ball is reviewing gadgets. Other balls include web development and video-type stuff. You’d be surprised how often those balls overlap with the gadget ball, though, so it all works out.

He reviews gadgets here at CrunchGear, makes videos, and hosts the weekly live podcast for those who don’t like to read.

Reporters

Nicholas Deleon

Nicholas is a professional complainer, and can really only be bothered when it has to do with FC Barcelona. His hobbies include abusing his really fast Internet connection, watching old PRIDE FC fights he downloaded from Usenet, and reading old issues of Dave Meltzer’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Oh, and he graduated from NYU in 2008, having studied journalism and political science, which doesn’t seem to be worth a whole hell of a lot. He is also the founder and CEO of Mad Good PR, which gets results. Mad good results. (That’s a film photo. Recognize.)

You can find him on Facebook or Twitter, but he hasn’t really used Twitter in like six months so whatever.
