Hey there! I'm Craig and I’m a technical writer at iFixit. I write repair guides that take you through all the steps for fixing all your stuff.
I graduated from Purdue University in 2012 with a Bachelor’s in Media and Public Communication and a minor in Media Production. I started out writing articles for the student newspaper, eventually overseeing the publication’s web content and earning a spot as an Online Pacemaker Award finalist from the Associated Collegiate Press in 2011.
After graduating, I spent ten years writing for a handful of online publications, including Lifehacker, Digital Trends, How-To Geek, and more. I still do some freelancing on the side writing about all sorts of different topics that I’m passionate about.
My love of tech and repair goes back to my adolescent years when I began tinkering with the family computer as a young and naive teenager. To this day, I love getting my hands dirty with projects around the house and in the garage, and I'm a strong advocate for the DIY movement. In other words, I don't call a guy when something breaks; I am the guy! And I always encourage others to pick up some tools and take matters into their own hands.
Thanks everyone for the heads up! We’ve gone back and remeasured the screws to confirm, and have updated the guide appropriately.
Hey Tim, we’ve updated this step with screw measurements!
