About Timothy Jacob Hudson

My name is Jacob Hudson, and I've been a professional writer for eight years. In that time, I've written hundreds of articles, proofed and edited college dissertations, and even revised government agency contracts worth millions of dollars. Writing has been my passion since I was a child, and I've fully embraced the power of the written word in order to share my other major interest with the world: technology! 

From the earliest days I can remember, I've loved gaming, computers, and other fascinating advances in technology that took the past few decades by storm. I love to talk shop about all of the neat things those little supercomputers we call phones can do, and the niche features of the technology we use every day without a second thought. As much as you know about your devices, I promise you they can do even more than you think! 

I'm a gamer at heart, so you can expect to hear a lot about that topic while I'm around. Although, with all of the tech troubleshooting I do for my technologically indisposed family, you can bet there will be a lot of how-to guides in the future as well!
