I’m Jeff, a content creator, podcaster, and work from home professional. My goal with SemiPro Tech+Gear is to share foundational information, product reviews and comparisons, and helpful tips with other content creators and WFH pros.
Here’s a little bit more about my relevant experience:
- POD Insights YouTube channel and podcast creator. Since 2021 I’ve handled all video and audio aspects of the channel and podcast. In 2022 I made significant investments in both gear and time to improve the quality of my videos – because oof my early ones were rough.
- Work From Home professional since 2019. I use a pretty standard windows laptop/dock/dual monitor setup for my 9-5 job, but of course I’ve made some improvements to my audio setup. I also love testing out new keyboards and other gear to help improve my daily work experience.
- Small amount of voiceover work experience in audiobooks and explainer videos – I haven’t had enough time to get into this more, but love it because I get to spend more time with my audio gear. I’ll take any excuse to use a tube microphone and external preamps.
- Lifetime gear nerd.
Here’s to sharing some semi-professional help with others who share my love of all forms of gear!

Ethics Statement
On the SemiPro Tech+Gear YouTube channel and website, I review and recommend gear and tech that I have personally tested. Some products I’ve used for weeks/months/years, but at minimum I will test a product thoroughly before publishing a detailed review. If I post content without having a chance to thoroughly test the product, I will make it clear that it is “initial” or a “first take” and that purchase decisions shouldn’t be made solely on that content.
Products & Review Videos
The products I review are a mix of items that I’ve purchased myself or were sent to me by a manufacturer to review. I will state at the beginning of my videos if a product was something I purchased or if a manufacturer sent it to me for free.
- I do not accept direct payments for review videos. If a manufacturer offers a payment in exchange for a video, it will be refused.
- Products sent to me free of charge do not receive favorable treatment. My reviews will point out any observed shortcomings or downsides that potential buyers should be aware of.
- My content will discuss the product based on my testing, observations, and ideas. I do not take direction on how to craft the messaging in my videos.
Sponsorships & Affiliate Relationships
I do not accept sponsorships from companies that make the type of products that I review. For example, I will not accept a sponsorship from a microphone manufacturer because I make content reviewing and comparing microphones. I will accept sponsorships from companies adjacent to my content niches if they offer a quality product/service that has no direct relation to the type of products that I review.
I will participate in affiliate programs with companies that I believe offer a quality product. I will also participate in affiliate programs with general merchandise retailers that offer the products I review. Affiliate commissions help to support purchasing future products to review as well as the costs of running the channel and website. The posts on this website and the descriptions of each of my videos contain a disclaimer about affiliate links and viewers/readers are free to use or not use the links. I use the domain semiprotechgear.link for the majority of my affiliate links.
