Finding the fastest and most extreme storage solutions led to experience with a myriad of high-end enterprise devices.

Soon testing SSDs and Enterprise RAID controllers at the limits of their performance became Paul's real passion, one that is carried out through writing articles and reviews.

Chad Sebring

Cooling, Cases and Peripherals Editor
Location: Ohio, USA

chadsebring at tweaktown dot com

Jumping into computers for just the aspect of gaming is how it all started for me. After a solid year of gaming caught the overclocking bug. With overclocking comes the need for better cooling, and I have had both air and water setups to tinker with. With a few years of abusing computer parts, I looked for something new.

I then decided to take my chances and try to get a review job with a online site. This lead to me starting my reviewing career under the tutelage of Chris Ramseyer at RWlabs. As an avid overclocker, I am always looking for the next leg up in cooling and casing as well as peripherals technology. Hopefully my drive to find the best of the best in cooling and cases technology will benefit the readers of TweakTown.

Tyler Bernath

Portable Devices Editor
Location: Ohio, USA

TylerB at tweaktown dot com

Growing up in a small farm town in northern Ohio, technology was never around unless it was in a tractor. At the early age of nine years old may parents brought home our very first PC and I was instantly hooked and quickly learned what it meant to format a hard drive - spending many nights reinstalling Windows 95 as my parents slept. As I grew up many things changed around me, but my love and enthusiast nature always kept my PC at my side.

Eager to get deeper into technology I started reviewing products on my own and eventually met Chris Ramseyer which under his wing I grew and took over at RWLabs.com. When I'm not testing or tearing apart the latest in technology, you will find me working with my brother-in-law turning up dirt on his 35 acre farm.
