Stephen Lambrechts is the Managing Editor of Tom's Guide AU and has written professionally across the categories of tech, film, television and gaming for the last 15 years. Before Tom's Guide, he spent several years as a Senior Journalist at TechRadar, had a brief stint as Editor in Chief at Official Xbox Magazine Australia, and worked at IGN. He's also written for such mags and sites as APC, TechLife Australia, T3, FilmInk, Daily Telegraph and AskMen. Additionally, he's a Tomatometer-approved critic on Rotten Tomatoes, and has offered his tech advice on radio and television.
He's an expert when it comes to smartphones, TVs, gaming and streaming, having contributed many reviews in each of those categories over the years. Despite his many articles on streaming, he's a passionate collector of physical media who enjoys listening to vinyl records and acquiring obscure horror movies from the '60s, '70s and 80s. He can usually be seen rocking the latest retro sneaker releases, particularly Air Jordans and Reebok Pumps. Occasionally, he also indulges in other non-hipster stuff, like hiking.
