Jason Fitzpatrick

Jason Fitzpatrick is the Senior Smart Home Editor for How-To Geek, a member of the LifeSavvy Media editorial board, and has been with the company since 2010. He’s written thousands of articles on everything from the pressing—like how to stop Windows Explorer from crashing when you open your Downloads folder—to the less-pressing but radically more fun—like how to set up a Minecraft server to build with your friends.

Before joining the How-To Geek family, Jason was the Weekend Editor at Lifehacker—where he started as their very first intern and worked his way up. After joining the How-To Geek family, Jason served as the Founding Editor of How-To Geek sister-site Review Geek and Editor-in-Chief of LifeSavvy. In addition to writing and editing, Jason has previously worked as a professional photographer, graphic designer, and spent over a decade as a college instructor.

Jason holds both a Bachelor’s and Master’s in English from Western Michigan University.
