Lowell is the founder and CEO of How-To Geek. He’s been running the show since creating the site back in 2006. Over the last decade, Lowell has personally written more than 1000 articles which have been viewed by over 250 million people.
These days, he is focused on his role running the business side of the house, and building the Moka platform that powers the HTG family of sites, including Review Geek.
Prior to starting How-To Geek, Lowell spent 15 years working in the IT field doing consulting, cybersecurity, database management, and programming.

The e-commerce integrations he created are still being used to automate billions of dollars worth of transactions today.

We think of espresso as having more caffeine than drip coffee, but we don’t drink espresso in drip-coffee quantities.
