My Journey

Hi, I’m Ray Bridges, and for as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to the intersection of sustainability, community, and innovation. I grew up in Portland, Oregon, a place where conversations about the environment happen as naturally as talking about the weather. My early career was in nonprofit outreach, working with local food programs that addressed both hunger and climate challenges. It was during those years that I saw how everyday choices – from what we eat to what we buy – shape the world around us.

From Cause-Driven Work to Consumer Advice

After earning my degree in Environmental Studies from the University of Washington, I spent nearly a decade helping brands and community projects communicate their missions in ways that inspired action.

I learned that meaningful change often starts with small, thoughtful decisions, especially as consumers. Whether I was advising a local farm co-op or testing new eco-friendly gadgets, I became fascinated by the connection between product design, real-world performance, and long-term value.

Why I Started This Blog

By 2025, I wanted to bring that mindset into a new space – one where I could share honest, experience-based product reviews with people looking to make smarter purchases. That’s how unwreckthefuture.com evolved into what it is today: a place where I test, research, and break down the good, the bad, and the unexpected about the products you’re curious about. My goal isn’t just to tell you what’s worth buying, but to explain why it works (or doesn’t) in real-life scenarios.

Life Today

I still live in Portland, now with my partner, two rescue dogs, and a small vegetable garden that keeps me grounded. When I’m not writing or testing products, you’ll find me cycling along the Willamette River or exploring weekend markets. This blog reflects my everyday life – practical, curious, and committed to making better choices – and I hope it helps you feel confident in yours.
