Patrick (he/him) is the eCommerce Editor of Android Central. After working in independent bookstores for the better part of a decade and using freelance writing as a side hustle, Patrick switched to writing full time in 2020. Patrick’s writing has appeared in the Chicago Tribune, The Hill, BestReviews, OddityMall, and many other publications across the web. He joined Android Central as the Deals and Commerce Writer in 2022 and now runs the site’s eCommerce efforts and coverage of major sale events. Although he’s written about everything from exercise equipment to turntables, Patrick’s work nowadays is primarily concerned with saving people money on tech. He’s particularly passionate about eliminating buyer’s remorse and taking subjects that can be confusing for shoppers — such as switching wireless carriers or buying a new smart TV — and breaking them down into simple, easy-to-understand terms. Whether you’re a veteran tech-head or a novice, Patrick offers honest, no-nonsense shopping advice with years of hands-on experience to back it up. When he isn’t hunting down the best discounts or digging through the fine print of a carrier deal, Patrick enjoys trekking around the Rocky Mountains, camping out at a brewery, or spending time with his beloved polydactyl cat.
