Owen Brooks is the editor of RootRafter. An engineer by training (BSc Electrical Engineering, MSc Engineering Management), he spent about 20 years in the telecommunications industry coordinating engineers and project teams on large technical rollouts. Owen looks at every home and garden problem like an engineer: understand how the system works, find the real cause, then fix it in clear, ordered steps. He checks every guide against university extension services, manufacturer manuals and published safety codes, and is clear about when a job needs a licensed professional. He covers gardening and plants, home repairs (with a special interest in electrical safety), pests and mold, and cleaning and laundry.
