About me

I’ve been the person testing gear in the rain so you don’t have to.

I started reviewing hiking gear on a personal blog in 2019 because I was tired of “top 10” listicles clearly written without ever touching the product. The Field Test grew from that frustration — a simple rule that everything gets used before it gets rated.

Today I work with brands and publishers to produce content that reads like advice from a knowledgeable friend, not a sales pitch. That’s why my reviews consistently outperform on time-on-page, trust signals, and — the metric that actually pays the bills — click-through to purchase.

When I’m not testing gear, I’m digging into SERPs, keyword gaps, and conversion data to make sure the content doesn’t just get read — it gets acted on.

Let’s talk about your content

What I do

Content built to be trusted — and clicked

Every service is built around the same goal: give the reader enough real information to make a confident buying decision.

 

Product Reviews

Hands-on testing, honest pros and cons, and clear verdicts — no product goes into an article untouched.

 

Comparison Articles

Side-by-side breakdowns that cut through spec sheets and answer the only question that matters: which one wins for whom.

 

Buying Guides

Structured, SEO-friendly guides that walk first-time buyers from confusion to a confident decision.

 

SEO Content

Keyword research, on-page structure, and internal linking built to rank — not just to read well.

 

Affiliate Strategy

Program selection, disclosure-compliant link placement, and conversion testing to grow revenue per visitor.

Selected work

Campaigns and reviews that moved the needle
