Meet the DealNews Team

Alan was recently named "The New Face of DealNews™" by himself, which is a step up from his previous title, "The King of the Run-on Sentence", although this latter – equally unofficial – title clearly remains the more accurate by some distance. He's a Dublin-based editor for this very website.

Based out of Philadelphia, Alison joined the Blog team as a contributor to share her knowledge and experience as a daily deal-slinger. She also likes cats...

Andy Frank has covered deals at DealNews since 2014, specializing in Apple products, computers, musical instruments, TVs, and practical purchases for busy families. As a working musician and father of three, he focuses on what holds up in real life—not just what has the biggest discount.

A former Fashion Editor and entertainment writer, Aoife Ryan has a keen interest in American literature, techno music, and talking endlessly about her new kitten.

Ben was Features Editor at DealNews from 2014 to 2017, when his shopping insights were highlighted by Good Morning America, Reuters, the Washington Post, and more. Though no longer in consumer news, Ben still loves getting a great deal (and writing about it!).

Chris works behind the scenes with the Content Team to help bring DealNews readers the finds they come for every day. His interests outside work include books, games, science, animals, and pretending his dad jokes are better than they are.

David is a senior editor at DealNews, where he writes and edits deal coverage across a wide range of shopping categories. He’s been helping readers sort real savings from retail noise since the iPhone 3G was cutting-edge technology.

A former Fashion Editor and Boggle champion, Donna Doyle spends her time writing for DealNews, buying stationery, and trying to master cycling on the roads.

Elizabeth Zimmerman is a former Associate Editor at DealNews. She specializes in tap dancing, wearing a lot of colors, making cakes, and sneaking Beatles references into deals. Goo goo g'joob.

Emily Dovi is a former DealNews Features Editor. She occasionally switched from red to black to pen some of DealNews' features. Follow her on Twitter at @emilydovi.

With experience working for a health charity and a keen interest in fitness, Jack Ward is a member of DealNews' Fashion, Fitness, and Health team. His fashion credentials have not been disclosed.

Jason is the resident dad of dads, with five kids spanning 11 years. He's into Duke sports, all things basketball, video games, and learning new things. Not related to the Macho Man Randy Savage (RIP). But he does enjoy Slim Jims and wrestling.

Jeff was the DealNews Managing Editor. When he's not getting deals, he's probably watching "football" or eating something amazing.

Jim has been with DealNews for over two decades and still has nightmares about the days when placing an order from mail-order catalogs required a phone call. He's a grizzled deal veteran, having lived through and covered all modern-era Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales. ("Black Friday" as a retail term first emerged in the late 1960s—and he's not quite that old.) As a lifelong (and unapologetic) Apple fanboy, Jim loves helping others find deals on the latest MacBooks, iPads, and iPhones. But he'll happily cross the aisle to uncover the best discounts on PCs and everything else from video games to vacuums. When he's not sleuthing for the next big deal, Jim's either rewatching The Office for the 57th time, finally getting around to finishing The Witcher 3, or planning a trip to a remote, mountainous corner of the world—sans Internet.

I've spent more than 10 years helping shoppers time their purchases right — from KitchenAid mixers and patio furniture to beauty must-haves and renter-friendly home finds. My savings expertise has been repeatedly featured in AARP, CNBC, and even Good Morning America.
