Mo is VPN editor at Tom's Guide. Day-to-day he oversees VPN, privacy, and cybersecurity content, which includes making sure all his recommendations are up to date, accurate, and as useful for the reader as possible. He also undertakes regular testing of VPN providers, including their compatibility with streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime and BBC iPlayer, along with assisting the main review team during the biannual VPN review process.
He graduated with First Class honours in English Literature and Creative Writing from Manchester University, and before joining the Tom's Guide team he worked for several years at a leading online writing course provider where he cut his teeth in both creative and editorial writing. Alongside working with the writing academy, he also side-hustled as a freelance proof-reader and copy-editor, with projects with the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Kyle Books, and Watkins Publishing under his belt – all the while gaining notoriety (if not success) with his band in his homeland of Cornwall.
Out of hours you'll often find him wrestling with his Peugeot 205 GTi and planning grand shelving projects that rarely come to fruition. Or, more likely, re-re-re-rewatching Peep Show.
