About The Author

Chris Wagoner

A few trips around the world courtesy of the US Army has taught Chris to keep perspective, be observant, and take nothing for granted. These days he is a husband and father of two boys, which explains why he’s just broke enough to be a serial DIYer. Believing that experience is the best teacher, Chris is always willing to get in over his head and hopes his trials will help you find the right tool for your job.
