I have been fascinated with gear since I was 10, carrying a Victorinox Super Tinker and a Mag Solitaire (hey...that was state of the art in 1987). After a gear hiatus, I came back to knives and stuff when my Dad got me a Gen 1 Delica. That knife was with me for a long time and it was eventually replaced with a Kershaw Scallion. One of those is much better than the other.
I started this blog when I noticed a lack of systematic written reviews in the gear community. While the list of reviews started out small, it is now pretty comprehensive. I take great pains to make sure I do a good job, lay out all of my biases and reasons, and ignore hype. I also hope that you find this information useful, interesting, and funny.
The blog is the hub in a wheel of content. I write for Gear Junkie, All Outdoor, and I run the podcast Gear Geeks Live. There is also a YouTube channel as well.
Personally, I am married to a wonderful woman who is a Professor of Organic Chemistry at the College of the Holy Cross. I have two awesome little boys. I am from Ohio and moved to Massachusetts for post-college education. I graduated from Xavier University with a degree in Political Science and Philosophy. I got a masters degree in Philosophy from Boston College. I then got a law degree (see how that works--no job, no job, JOB!) from Suffolk University Law School. I worked for the New Hampshire Public Defender for 12 years. I worked at Gottesman and Hollis in Nashua for three years, and then partnered up with a friend and prosecutor, Leslie Gill, to open my own firm, Gill & Sculimbrene.
If you have a product you'd like to me to review contact me at everydaycommentary at gmail dot com (in the usual format). I should be able to give you a quote on the time needed for the review. I will not review a product without a review sample. I am also not running a shill site, so don't expect me to tout your product unless I truly believe in it. I will not accept links for pay either. All of this is done to ensure editorial independence and to keep things as simple as possible for me.
