Founder, American Home Picks · USMC Retired
I’m a retired US veteran. I own my home, work on my own car, mow my own lawn, and spent years buying the wrong tools before I figured out what actually lasts. I built American Home Picks because I got tired of review sites run by people who never touched the products they recommend. Every pick on this site went through my hands or my research first. That’s the only verification that matters here.
From Harbor Freight to DeWalt — and everything I learned along the way.

The Story
From Queens to the Corps to the Utah Mountains — and one big problem that needed fixing.
I grew up in Queens, New York — you learn fast to spot what’s real and what’s not. I took that instinct into the Marine Corps, served my country, came out the other side, and earned my Civil Engineering degree from the University of Utah.
Now I live in Utah, enjoy the outdoors, and I still care deeply about this country and the flag I carried.
One day I went to buy American-made gear and couldn’t tell which brands were actually telling the truth. 'Assembled in USA.' 'Designed in USA.' Most of it was misleading.
So I built the platform I wished existed. A real verification system — product by product, source by source, human-approved before anything goes live.
University of Utah
B.S. Civil Engineering. Built to think in systems and evidence — same framework behind AHP's verification process.
Queens, NY → Utah
Street-smart from New York. Mountain-tested in Utah. Both places taught the same thing: shortcuts cut corners.
Veteran-Founded, Independently Operated
No corporate backing. No paid placements. Verification cannot be bought.
Why AHP Exists
Most “Made in USA” claims are wrong.
Here’s what AHP does differently — and why a Marine Corps engineer built it that way.
PRODUCT-LEVEL PROOF
We don't trust brand marketing. Every product gets its own source record, checked individually. One bad product doesn't hide behind a good brand name.
HUMAN APPROVAL GATE
Nothing goes live without a human review. Not AI alone. Not automation alone. A real person checks the evidence before any product is published.
NO PAY TO PLAY
Brands cannot pay to get verified. They cannot pay to get a better rating. If the evidence isn't there, the product doesn't make it through — period.
