Mo is VPN editor at Tom's Guide. Day-to-day he oversees guides on the best VPNs, privacy, and cybersecurity content, which includes making sure all his recommendations are up to date, accurate, and as useful for the reader as possible. He's a daily VPN user himself – typically NordVPN, but he enjoys a variety – and as a digital privacy advocate he believes that every step should be taken to protect yourself online.
He's a regular reviewer of VPN services – and this often includes hours spent in front of the TV testing out the latest Apple TV VPN or Fire Stick VPN apps and making sure each provider can unblock everything it claims to. He is also an occasional contributor to TechRadar, covering VPN and privacy issues.
He graduated with First Class honours in English Literature and Creative Writing from Manchester University, and before joining the Tom's Guide team he worked for several years at Professional Writing Academy where he cut his teeth in both creative and editorial writing. Alongside working with the writing academy, he also side-hustled as a freelance proof-reader and copy-editor, with projects with the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Kyle Books, and Watkins Publishing under his belt – all the while gaining notoriety (if not success) with his band in his homeland of Cornwall.
