OmarCOmar Correa
Founder/Editor In Chief

Location: San Antonio, Texas

A hardcore lover of all Apple products, Omar is a Graphic/Web Designer by day and a product reviewer by night. He created BuyMeAniPhone.com in August of 2007, because he wasn’t satisfied with other review sites that only displayed a few snap shots and a short paragraph about products. So he decided to create BMAi with a main focus on Video Product reviews and iPhone news. He oversees all of  BMAi’s editorial content, focusing special attention on emerging technologies involving the iPhone and new products and apps.

When Omar isn’t working on the site or filming a review, he is spending time with his wife (Amie) and 3 daughters Eden, Aviv  & Ania. He also enjoys playing basketball, mountain biking and playing his drums & guitar.

You can email Omar about Suggestions, Questions, Product Samples, Advertising and Promotions.
