Travis Koller
Travis Koller held a general contractor license for twelve years before shifting to writing full-time, and his workshop is still as active as ever. He reviews workbenches, storage systems, garage flooring, air compressors, and shop organization products with the eye of someone who has built and rebuilt multiple shop setups across different spaces and budgets. Travis is direct about what is worth the price and what is designed to look good in product photos but falls apart in a working garage. If it cannot survive sawdust and a dropped impact driver, he will tell you.
