Andy is a Staff Writer covering VPNs and privacy at Tom's Guide
You may have seen his name 'round these parts before, as he was previously a Trainee Writer at Tom's Guide where he specialized in gaming, AI and phones, but lent his hand to many topics. He then joined the team at T3 and became a streaming and computing guru, but has now returned to Tom's Guide to keep you safe online, and bring you the latest news in VPN and cyber security.
Outside of work, his passions are movies, football (soccer) and Formula 1. He lives in Bath, UK, and is something of an amateur screenwriter having studied Creative Writing at university.
