Tired of fake reviews? Yep! Me too…
Hey, I’m Tony. I review things — tech gadgets, THC edibles, budget headphones, frozen pizza with Cheez-Its on it… basically anything that catches my eye or shows up on my doorstep. If it looks fun, weird, or maybe even useful, I’ll test it out and give you the real story. No sponsors pulling strings. No sugarcoating. Just honest reviews with a side of sarcasm.
My Promise to You: 100% Honest Reviews
If a product is great, I’ll tell you. If it’s a waste of money, I’ll be the first to say so. No corporate jargon, no sponsored content, no fake positivity. Just the real deal.
Pretty much anything and everything! One day it might be a new pair of headphones, the next it could be a weird kitchen gadget I found online.
Transparency is key. While I sometimes receive products from companies, I never accept payment for a review. My opinions are not for sale, and you’ll always get my genuine take, no matter where the product came from.
The best way is to check back here often!
Get to Know Me
Now that you know what the site’s all about, here’s a little about me.
I was born May 7th, 1981 in Cheverly, Maryland. I grew up in Florida, spent some time up north in the woods of Wisconsin and then Milwaukee, before landing in central Iowa in 2005. I’ve been here ever since.
These days, I live in Ames with my beautiful fiancé, Lauren, and our awesome blended family. That includes her teenage daughter Brooke, my two sons Aiden and Noah, our dog Carl (grumpy but loveable), and our cat Willow (queen of the house). We also recently added a Great Dane puppy, Ruby, who has brought chaos and joy in equal measure.
By day, I’m a full-time custodian at Iowa State University. A few nights a week, I also work a part-time job as a caregiver. But Tony Reviews Things is where I get to do something I genuinely love — test cool stuff, write about it, and hopefully help you make smarter buying decisions. If I can earn a few bucks while doing that, even better. The dream? To someday not have to juggle two jobs just to stay afloat.

Have a product you want me to check out? Found something that looks just barely legal and too dumb to ignore? Hit me up. I’m always looking for the next thing to love… or roast.
Thanks for being here. Seriously.
