About the Creator

I'm a retired veteran and web developer who enjoys building free, user-friendly online tools that simplify everyday tasks. My journey began in the early 2000s with affiliate marketing and niche site development, which grew into a passion for creating practical digital utilities and calculators.

After retiring, I earned a Computer Systems Technician certificate from UEI College, completed Electro-Mechanical Technologies at Tulsa Welding School, and finished the Carpentry program at Florida State College at Jacksonville. Today, I combine my technical background and craftsmanship by building furniture using traditional woodworking methods, gardening, and developing helpful online tools for users worldwide.

Why I Built This Tool

As someone who's driven across the country multiple times and managed vehicle budgets throughout my career, I understand how fuel costs can add up. I wanted to create a straightforward calculator that gives you accurate information without forced account creation or premium paywalls.
