Rick brings 30+ years of "tech-pertise" to Yahoo product reviews and best lists, specializing in speakers, streaming services, smart home devices, TVs, laptops, drones and more. In addition to routinely testing new products and services, he works to simplify the confusing world of tech to make it more accessible to readers. Rick's consumer-technology writing dates back to the days of the Commodore Amiga, which means he's not only very old but also very wise (and incredibly modest). He's worked for CNET, Lifehacker, Popular Science and Wired, to name a few, and runs the Substack @dealsecrets, focused on money-saving advice. During his off hours, you'll almost certainly find him swinging a pickleball paddle.
