Author Profile
-
Melvin Odom is a former mechanical engineer turned full-time reviewer who brings hands-on experience from years spent testing and designing outdoor gear. A graduate of the University of Vermont, Melvin built his early career around understanding how things work in real conditions, from performance jackets to camping stoves. That technical foundation shapes his clear, practical approach to reviewing products that people actually use, not just admire online.
Now based on the Connecticut coast, Melvin runs burnratebook.com, where he writes honest, in-depth reviews covering everyday gadgets, home tools, and outdoor equipment. His mission is simple – to help readers make smarter buying choices through real-world insight, not hype. When he’s not writing, you’ll find him hiking, boating, or testing a new piece of gear on the weekends with his golden retriever.
