What was your first phone?
My first phone was a Nokia 3310. I used it to make phone calls, mostly to my parents, because I was a child at the time. But really I used to to play Snake.
When did your interest in technology begin?
My interest in technology started early, when my dad set up our first computer with an MS-DOS operating system and showed my how to play adventure games. I have vivid memories of Space Quest. And I could not get enough of those old dot-matrix printers.
What tech products or categories are you most passionate about?
My big passion in tech is home entertainment systems. Everything from OLED TVs to multi-room speaker systems. There's nothing better than putting on a good 4K Blu-ray with the surround sound pumping.
