Writer Bios

Read enough reviews on this site and it’ll become abundantly clear that the writers who contribute to iPhone App Reviews are awesome!! They test, they toil, they crack wise… all so that you, our loyal readers, can get the skinny on which apps are worth your time.

Not everyone on the team has posted a bio, but here are a few to get acquainted with.

Chris J.

Chris J. is the type of person who, when he gets a new pen, first takes it apart to see what its made of. Despite the fact that most pens look pretty much alike on the inside, it’s a habit he’s never quite been able to shake. While not going so far as to actually disassemble his iPod Touch, he’s spent a substantial amount of time figuring out what it can (and cannot) do.

As of the writing of this bio he is the father of a three-week-old daughter, who seems to delight herself in depriving her parents of sleep. He is married to a woman whose greatest virtue is her endless patience towards her often immature husband.

On a more general note, he’s a guy who prefers to do things his own way. He drinks tea, not coffee. He reads and occasionally memorizes poetry, both adult and children’s. His collection of Shakespeare sits on the same shelf as his collection of Gary Larson. He’s also been known to do some rock climbing on occasion.

Chrisa!

Chrisa is a self-described techno-geek, thanks to her father, who bought her an Apple II in 1979. Presently she is surgically attached to her 8 GB 2G iPhone. Chrisa is an eCommerce / New Media professional who will blog for food, since she’s between gigs at the moment.

The 4-6 hours a day she’s not in front of a computer, she is also the mom to three teenagers who share her love of hand-held technology, and the wife of a high school atheletics coach who couldn’t find his way around a smartphone with two hands and a flashlight. Chrisa lives in Chicago.

Lee is a closet nerd who entered the Apple universe full tilt in 2002. He is running a Mac Book, iPhone 2G, iPod Classic and 1MB iPod Nano (for fitness workouts). As a dedicated App Fiend, he keeps a steady supply of apps on all 9 iPhone home pages. By day he helps people figure out how to manage their money. By night, he roams the world by way of running, triathlons, and dedicated Redskins football mania. Lee is a beginner contributor, but is full of opinion-goodness.

A friend once said of T. J. Brumfield, “He has the heart of a poet. He has the mind of a genius. And he has the ears of a concert pianist. He keeps them all in jars beside his bed.” Said friend is now in the witness protection program.

Meanwhile, while T. J. plots his murderous revenge, he bides his time toying with his new 3G S, spending time with the family, and pondering how to best fend off ninjas armed only with a badminton racket and shuttlecock. He volunteered to write apps for this website in hopes to distract his parole officer. When last seen, T. J. was refusing his medication and insisting that anarchy is so good, it should be law!

Michael once got a 30 GB iPod Video for Christmas and traded it in for a PSP. The nerve of that insolent bastard!

But since getting a 16 GB iPhone 3G in July 2008 he’s been All iPhone All The Time and, about two weeks after getting that slick little device, he started this website.

Michael lives in Chicago and is single, barely literate, has no friends, and enjoys clogging his arteries with Italian Beef sandwiches and writing about himself in third person.
