About the Author
Chris Teague is an experienced product reviewer, journalist, and host with a professional background in banking, technology, and automotive media. After earning his MBA, Chris began his career as a bank analyst and consultant, contributing to tech and finance publications. But his long-standing passion for cars pulled him in a different direction, that eventually led him to also become a respected voice in the automotive world.
Chris has written for leading outlets such as Forbes, J.D. Power, U.S. News & World Report, and The Drive, covering car safety, performance, and consumer buying guides. He later founded YourTestDriver.com and co-hosts the nationally syndicated America on the Road Radio Show. His thoughtful, detail-oriented approach has earned him a reputation for providing honest, easy-to-understand information for everyday drivers.
More recently, Chris has expanded into home security system reviews, applying his sharp eye for product evaluation to a space where safety and functionality are just as important. With more than ten years of hands-on experience testing products and breaking down technical features, Chris now reviews leading systems like Vivint, SimpliSafe, and ADT, offering side-by-side comparisons, pros and cons, and expert guidance to help consumers make informed decisions.
He’s personally tested more than 50 home security systems in real-world settings, often with the cooperation of manufacturers who seek his input and trust his reviews. That hands-on access gives him a unique advantage in identifying not just how systems perform on paper, but how they hold up in everyday use.
What sets Chris apart is his ability to cut through the noise. He doesn’t rely on hype or marketing spin. Instead, he focuses on practical insights, clear explanations, and whether a product truly delivers on its promises. Whether you’re shopping for a car or looking to protect your home, Chris brings a grounded, no-nonsense approach to consumer advice. His work has helped thousands of readers feel more confident in their buying decisions.
