About Ben Stegner

After joining MUO in 2014 and earning a degree in Computer Information Systems, Ben left his IT job to go full-time with the site in 2016. 

As a writer, his specialties include Windows, Android, Gaming, and iPhone explainers and how-tos. He's been mastering Windows since 2009, got his first Android phone in 2011, and has used an iPhone daily since 2020. His work has been viewed over 100 million times.

Now, as the Editor in Chief of MUO, Ben leads the overall strategy for the site and guides the team of writers and editors to new successes. When he's not working, Ben is exploring a new indie game or explaining a technical concept to friends.
