Meet Richard Ervin – Founder & Editor
Hi, I’m Richard Ervin, and I’ve spent the last 18 years working in office environments, testing equipment, and researching ergonomic solutions. My journey began when I experienced severe back pain from poor office ergonomics – that’s when I realized how crucial the right tools and setup are for long-term health and productivity.
Over nearly two decades, I’ve:
- Tested hundreds of office chairs, standing desks, keyboards, and accessories
- Consulted with ergonomic specialists and occupational health professionals
- Helped thousands of people through my writing and recommendations
- Stayed current with the latest research in workplace ergonomics and productivity
My personal experience with workplace injuries and my passion for helping others avoid the same mistakes led me to create OfficeToolsGuide. Every article, review, and guide on this site is based on extensive research, hands-on testing, and real-world experience.
