Brian White

Brian White has spent the better part of 14 years getting his hands dirty — sometimes literally — testing the gadgets, gear, and garden tools most people only read about. Based in Pleasanton, California, he brings a mechanical engineering background from Colorado State and a Certified Consumer Electronics Technician credential to his work at Decoreur, where he curates picks across tech gifts, outdoor equipment, and home garden finds. He's consulted on large-scale product audits for Bay Area retailers, contributed reviews reaching 200,000+ monthly readers, and once engineered a smart irrigation system that cut his household water use by nearly a third. He probably knows more about multi-tools than anyone should — though he'll still borrow his neighbor's when something actually needs fixing.
