ABOUT
What Is Tested?
Adam Savage’s Tested is a content platform and community playground for makers and curious minds. On Tested.com, the highly- engaged Tested YouTube channel, and at conventions and events, dynamic makers share ideas and inspire each other to build their obsessions. Led by Adam Savage, the Tested team explores the intersection of science, popular culture, and emerging technology, showing how we are all makers. Adam also takes viewers behind the scenes of films, TV shows, theater, and museums, shining a spotlight on the craftspeople and artists who make the magic we all enjoy.
If you make things you think Tested viewers would be interested in, send us an email describing the product. Let us know exactly what it does, who it’s for, and why you think we’d be interested. If you have an idea for a project that you’d like us to build or test, send a pitch over! We’re always eager to hear interesting geeky stories, learn about makers’ projects, and find new places to visit. Drop us a line and share your stories at tips@tested.com.

Executive Editor
Norm Chan is a co-founder of Tested, and has been a technology reporter covering emerging technologies in print and online media for over 15 years.

Director of Photography
Joey Fameli is equal parts video camera and pizza dough. Graduating with a finance degree in college, the next logical step for his career was to shoot comedy shows, music videos, and commercials. He traveled the country shooting various acts, until landing a full time position with Whiskey Media in 2010, alongside the Tested Team. When he's not shooting or editing, he's writing, running, snowboarding, playing D&D, or just hanging out with his wife and daughter. He pretends like he works out, but really he's just studying pizza and making pasta.

General Manager
Kristen is the general manager of Tested, and she has also worked for Adam personally. She is a former digital producer at Discovery Channel, where she worked on shows like Monster Garage, Dirty Jobs, Man vs Wild and MythBusters (for its entire run). She’s also a producer, and is pretty much responsible for all the puppet content on Tested because she LOVES PUPPETS.
