Hey! My name is Blake /Ba-la-kay/ and I'm a strong independent redhead that don't need no soul.

At iFixit I am known as "The Car Guy" but was actually hired on as the Repair Researcher. What that means is that I do research, all day, every day. And with 7 years experience as an automotive mechanic I am currently looking into bringing more automotive repair content to iFixit!

Outside of work I am an avid audiophile, festival goer, mineral climber, noise maker, electronics tinkerer, fixer/breaker/builder, and a parent to a cat (Zinfandel) and dog (Kaffee).
