Brandon Widder is a Portland-based journalist and a senior editor at The Verge, where he helps oversee deals, buying guides, and other commerce initiatives. Since he was a kid, he&rsquo;s been obsessed with tech, having spent far too many hours playing Sega Genesis and downloading copious amounts of music on LimeWire. Formerly a senior editor at Digital Trends, he&rsquo;s spent the past decade honing tutorials, buying guides, and other types of evergreen content. When he&rsquo;s not sifting through the latest deals and tech news, he can typically be found in a heated exchange over Catan, zipping around on his &lsquo;81 Honda Passport, or volunteering with his local search and rescue outfit. Like many, he also has an unhealthy obsession with Star Wars. Go figure.
