Biography

With a passion for technology, Rich started his own site in 2013 and ran it independently for three years. In 2016, he moved on to Neowin as Senior Editor for North America, leading a news and reviews team of dozens of journalists. In 2021, he moved onto XDA with a mission to take an Android-focused site and expand its coverage into PCs. It was so successful that XDA dropped its mobile coverage, going all-in on computing in late 2023, where Rich now serves as Editor-in-Chief.
