Review Editor


Kolby grew up in the Southwest, living in Phoenix, AZ, and a small town in Southwestern Utah. He has spent most of his life involved in various aspects of the construction industry, ranging from heavy equipment repairs as a diesel mechanic to building houses and developing land. Kolby has always been interested in details, specifications, and how things work, propelling his development of the skills necessary to build high-end custom homes as a licensed general contractor in Utah and implementing technology in the pursuit of efficiency and accuracy in everything he does. Any chance he can get, you can find him in the mountains or on the trail, exploring the great outdoors. Most of his hobbies involve the outdoors, and Kolby is obsessed with the never-ending search for the best gear on the market to support his adventures. So much so, that he considers one of his hobbies to be gear research. He holds a Part 107 Pilot License for flying drones commercially, which he uses for aerial surveying of property and projects and exploring in his spare time. Kolby's interests in the outdoors and understanding of the ever-evolving gear universe have helped him become a detail-oriented individual with a vast knowledge of in-depth information on a wide range of topics. He is invested in becoming well-versed in each project he is involved in and is committed to putting in the time necessary to get tasks done right.

Kolby enjoys being a husband and father living in Southwestern Utah, and when he's not working, you can find him out in the desert on his dirtbike or his mountain bike on a local trail, trying to beat his fastest lap time. He loves the outdoors and enjoys all types of off-roading, family rides in a UTV, hiking, fitness, working on projects in the garage, long-range target shooting, and emergency preparedness.
