David Hollingworth


Just one of the many David’s that haunt Atomic HQ, though he is easily the most handsome. This particular one has been in the tech writing biz for over fifteen years, covering everything from Mac software to digital photography to PC gaming. And a few things he doesn’t like to talk about in between…

A keen gamer, David can commonly be found online in the guise of an elf lord, a plucky allied soldier or a power-armoured Spartan. That love of gaming even extends to the nerdy realms of tabletop gaming in all its forms. There is no end to David’s geekiness.
