About

I originally created ZipRage back in 2005 as a competitor to traditional men’s magazines. The site grew and gained popularity, but the time I could devote to it shrunk thanks to school. In 2013, I relaunched the site as a more niche dedicated automotive blog. That went well for some time but it started to get stale, I wanted to write about things other than just cars again. So, I re-branded ZipRage into Gear & Grit.

Gear & Grit is devoted to all the gear and insights that empower my work, fitness, fatherhood and fun.

Aside from running Gear & Grit, I am a pharmacist working in value based care population health management and data analytics by day. My wife Elin keeps me in line and my two daughters Jane & Ruth keep me busy and fill my heart with joy.

What I'm Up To

My Goals for 2024 are 300 hours ridden and at least 5,000 miles, here's where I'm at so far:
