Michael Crider
Michael Crider is a veteran technology journalist with a decade of experience. He started writing on the web by covering TV shows, and in a roundabout way arrived back at televisions (among other things) on How-To Geek.
Michael is a life-long nerd and writer who's written for websites like Digital Trends, Android Police, Lifehacker, and Screen Rant. He’s written enough tech news and guides to fill a Bible (really, he did the math!), hundreds of device reviews, literally thousands of Android app listings, and covered events like CES and Mobile World Congress live. In a former life, he was a graphic designer and occasionally handles image and photography duties for the team. He also wrote a supervillain novel, Good Intentions: A Supervillain Story.
Michael spent several years as Reviews Editor for How-To Geek's sister site, Review Geek, where he oversaw the website's hardware reviews. As of 2021, Michael was now News Editor at Android Police. He likes football, sci-fi, and salsa verde, not necessarily in that order.
