About

I make videos that help you be more productive - whether you're in high school, college, university, or the real world. That includes study tips to help you learn faster and ace your exams, advice on destroying procrastination, reading and note-taking strategies, and more. You can't prove that I don't fight bears in my spare time. The deets: I currently upload 3 or 4 videos a month. On my website - College Info Geek - you'll find... A weekly podcast ➔ Sometimes I interview people, sometimes my friend Martin co-hosts the show with me. Lots of blog posts ➔ 10 years' worth, in fact - many of which I wrote when I was a college student. Some facts about me... Age: 28 Majored in: Management Information Systems Filming setup: Canon C500, Schoeps CMC641, way too much gear Beard: Awesome Favorite game: DDR Favorite book: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Favorite travel accessory: Towel ;) Horrifying dark secret: ???
