About<\/h1>\n

It\u2019s easy to take clean water for granted. After all, for most of the developed world, it seems like we have an unlimited supply running straight out of a tap in our kitchens. But the fact is, there are many places in the world where people struggle to find clean water. <\/p>\n

In today\u2019s world, we don\u2019t always know what\u2019s in our water. We assume that the sources that provide us with water follow superior standards, but too often, news reports show us otherwise. <\/p>\n

Meet the Team<\/h2>\n

Chief Editor – Ward Hammond<\/p>\n

My path to being a professional writer and editor isn\u2019t your typical path. I actually started my career working with data, not words. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

I became interested in computers in high school and got my college degree in computer engineering. When I was working at a small tech company that provided computer solutions to low-income people, I had to pitch in and write some content for their website. People started telling me I was a good writer and editor, and I surprised no one more than I surprised myself. To make a long story short, I was hooked. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The transition from tech nerd to word nerd has been a rewarding and fun experience. Contact me at whammond@watermatcher.com <\/p>\n

Junior Editor – Anastasia Carey<\/p>\n

When I went to college, I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Professional Writing. I was fascinated with the art of writing technical communication in a way that readers can understand. There\u2019s nothing better than knowing that I\u2019ve broken down important information for people who are trying to live better lives. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

After college, I went to work for a textbook company, and after a few years, I joined the team here at Water Matcher. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a humanitarian at heart and am passionate about my health, so writing and editing content about how to help the world drink better water is very rewarding to me. If you have any questions contact me at  acarey@watermatcher.com <\/p>\n

Water Filtration Expert – Liza Chandler<\/p>\n

Even when I was a kid, I was fascinated by the tiny creatures that crawl around in water. I\u2019ll never forget the first time I looked under a microscope at a drop of ocean water. It was both terrifying and fascinating, and I knew I wanted to know as much about this as possible. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

I got my degree in biology and went to work for a company that makes refrigerators. I was the specialist who made sure the water filters the company made were premium quality. That ice maker in your refrigerator and the water filter that water passes through to get there has a lot of years of technology behind it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

At Water Matcher, we\u2019re here to inform the public about how important the issue of water softening and filtering can be. <\/p>\n
