About Bennett Garner

I've been a security alarm salesman, Eagle Scout, failed Mormon missionary, middle school teacher, nanny in France, bike builder, Quoran, real estate analyst and owner of my own technical writing consultancy.

Now, I'm an author, blogger, and web developer.

I've been a web developer since high school. I love technology and want to help climate change companies build scalable solutions to match the current climate crisis.

I wrote How to Become a Senior Developer to share the knowledge I learned coaching and mentoring engineers.

I wrote 50 Tweaks to Change Your Life to help people make small, research-backed changes to improve their lives.

I'm interested in technology, engineering, aviation, finance/investing, urbanism, and psychology.

I love points of view that go against conventional wisdom.

French (Marseille, Senegal) & Spanish (Ecuador, Mexico) speaker, minimalist, and a voracious reader.

I make music, ride my bike, garden, and read books for fun.

Asheville, North Carolina native. University of Pittsburgh grad. Used to live in Pittsburgh, DC, Uganda, Brooklyn, and Providence. Now I live in Boston.

What I'm doing now

• I work for Sealed as a Staff Engineer managing rebates & building pipelines for utility data
• I write something new for over 2k subscribers to my email list
• I'm singing in a choir & biking a bunch
