<p>Joe's tech journey began in the early 1980s with a Radio Shack Tandy TRS-80. After college, he built a custom PC, diving into modding, overclocking, and eventually extreme overclocking competitions at <a href="http://Hwbot.org" target="_blank">Hwbot.org</a>. Around 2010, he began writing news and reviews for <a href="http://Overclockers.com" target="_blank">Overclockers.com</a>, covering graphics cards, motherboards, storage, and processors. He went pro in 2018 at <a href="http://AnandTech.com" target="_blank">AnandTech.com</a> before joining Tom's Hardware as a Staff Writer, where he covers motherboards, cases, fans, chargers, deals, news, and more. When not benchmarking hardware or gathering data, Joe spends time with his wife, supports his two kids in high school athletics, loves to watch sports (Browns, Guardians, Cavaliers, and Buckeyes), or plays PUBG on PC after everyone else has gone to bed.</p>
