My Story: How I Started USA Tech Deals

Hi, I’m Steve Hougan, the creator and face behind USA Tech Deals — a platform built to make tech simple, honest, and genuinely helpful.

My journey began in a surprisingly relatable way.

A few years ago, I noticed that most tech reviews online were either overloaded with technical jargon or biased toward expensive products. Friends and family repeatedly told me the same thing:

“Steve, I just want to know which device is actually worth buying — without spending hours comparing or getting confused.”

That one sentence stuck with me.

So, instead of becoming “just another reviewer,” I set out to build something different — a tech guide that anyone could trust. A place where people could get clear explanations, honest comparisons, and affordable recommendations without feeling overwhelmed.

But here’s where my approach became unique:

I decided to combine real human expertise with AI-powered precision.

I built my digital persona — Steve Hougan, the AI Influencer — not to replace a human reviewer, but to enhance the review process with speed, accuracy, and consistency. Behind every article, video, and buying guide, there is still a real human analyzing data, checking user feedback, validating features, and shaping the insights.

Steve became the front-face — a clean, relatable, helpful identity — while I remained the researcher behind the scenes.

Together, this system allowed me to create content that is:

  • More structured

  • More reliable

  • More objective

  • And far easier for readers to understand

This is how USA Tech Deals was born.

Personal Life

When I’m not testing gadgets or breaking down tech specs, you’ll probably find me:

  • Watching teardown videos

  • Exploring minimal desk setups

  • Researching smart home upgrades

  • Helping beginners troubleshoot tech problems

I’m passionate about making technology less intimidating and more accessible — especially for people who aren’t “tech experts.”

USA Tech Deals is not just a website for me.
It’s a mission to simplify technology for real people.

My goal is simple:

To help you make smarter tech decisions — without wasting time, money, or energy.

Every guide, review, and comparison I publish has one goal:
To give you the clarity you need to choose the right product confidently.

I cover only the products that are:

✔ High-value
✔ Budget-friendly
✔ Reliable
✔ Backed by strong user feedback
✔ Tested and verified through real-world performance indicators

What I Cover on USA Tech Deals

I specialize in reviewing and simplifying:

  • Laptops & computers

  • Monitors & displays

  • Smart home devices

  • Phone accessories

  • Desk setups & productivity gadgets

  • Affordable alternatives to high-end tech

  • Troubleshooting and practical “how-to” guides

If it’s a gadget you use daily, I probably cover it — and if I don’t, just ask.

Why You Can Trust My Tech Advice

Trust matters — especially in the tech world where every brand claims to be “the best.”

Here’s how I ensure my reviews stay honest and helpful:

✔ I prioritize real user experience

I analyze thousands of customer reviews, return-rate data, and long-term usage reports.

✔ I evaluate what actually matters

Not just specs — but eye comfort, build quality, heat performance, real-life responsiveness, and durability.

✔ No brand controls my content

Brands cannot pay to change my opinions or rankings. Recommendations are based purely on value and reliability.

✔ AI + Human Expertise

AI helps compile and compare data faster. Human insight ensures accuracy, fairness, and clarity.

My Review Process (How I Evaluate Products)

Every product featured on USA Tech Deals goes through a detailed multi-step research process:

1. Verify the product’s specifications

Using official brand websites, manuals, and cross-references.

2. Check customer feedback from real users

Especially long-term durability and recurring complaints.

3. Analyze return rates & satisfaction trends

Products with high return rates NEVER make my list.

4. Compare performance in real use-cases

Home offices, gaming, students, content creators, etc.

5. Evaluate price-to-performance ratio

Only products that offer exceptional value are recommended.

6. Check expert benchmarks from credible sources

Such as PCMag, DisplaySpecifications, Tom’s Hardware, etc.
