Senior Editor, E-Commerce
Brandon Widder is a Portland-based journalist and a senior editor at The Verge, where he helps oversee deals, buying guides, and other commerce initiatives. Since he was a kid, he’s been obsessed with tech, having spent far too many hours playing Sega Genesis and downloading copious amounts of music on LimeWire. Formerly a senior editor at Digital Trends, he’s spent the past decade honing tutorials, buying guides, and other types of evergreen content. When he’s not sifting through the latest deals and tech news, he can typically be found in a heated exchange over Catan, zipping around on his ‘81 Honda Passport, or volunteering with his local search and rescue outfit. Like many, he also has an unhealthy obsession with Star Wars. Go figure.
