Contributing Writer

Chance Townsend got his start at PCMag as an editorial fellow in summer 2021, and is now a freelancer. He's a grad student at the University of North Texas, and his favorite time of the day is unlimited mimosa brunch. He's in front of a computer screen most of the time, but when he isn't, he's either in the kitchen or out at his local park feeding the ducks.
