Alaron has been interested in computers for the past 10 years. He started out with no knowledge of how computers worked, knowing only that instant messaging and online games were fun. But over time he became dissatisfied that his store bought computer was not powerful enough for the games he wanted to play. In his search for a new system, he decided to build his own and discovered PCMechanic. Over a few years, the hobby grew on him and he spent more time on the Forums. He started writing the weekly Freeware Frenzy column in August 2005 and became a forum Moderator in 2006.

When not online, Alaron divides his time between college and two other jobs. He is perpetually tinkering with his PCs, Linux, and programming, while listening to music and catching up on all the latest news.

You can contact Alaron at the above address.
