Jeremy Sikora, Writer and Super Moderator

Jeremy Sikora hails from the “Windy City”, Chicago, IL. His passion for gadgets landed him here on TiPb. When it comes to his gadgets, he shows nothing but equality. His current collection of phone’s consist of a iPhone 3G, HTC Touch, and a recently acquired Palm Treo Pro.
Jeremy has moved up in the ranks here on TiPb, landing his first blogging gig from his supreme moderating skills on the forums. His online persona, Bad Ash, is the heart and soul of the forums here, helping everyone he possibly can. Just goes to show how keen of an eye for talent Dieter really has!
When he is not blogging or moderating it usually means he is with his beautiful girlfriend, Maria, or working his day job for the “family business”. Other passions in his life are movies — some Evil Dead anyone? — music, snowboarding in Vail Colorado, and fast cars.
