Garrison Leykam is a 76 year old card-carrying AARP member and self-proclaimed “geezer.” He is Founder and Chief Reviewer at Geezers, Gadgets & Gizmos. “3G” is a passion project born from his lifelong love of technology and his mission to make tech approachable, practical, and empowering for adults 55 and older.

Think of Garrison as the modern hybrid of John Cameron Swayze & George Plimpton. If John Cameron Swayze made America trust Timex watches by strapping them to speedboats, and George Plimpton won readers by throwing himself into pro sports, then Geezers, Gadgets & Gizmos is their modern-day blend.

Garrison brings Swayze’s “real-world test” spirit and Plimpton’s “I’ll try it myself” journalism to the world of senior living. From testing rollators on sidewalks to sliding across an ice rink in non-slip socks, he proves what works (and what doesn’t) with humor, relatability, and absolute authenticity.
