About Me
I'm a family-centric person with an awesome partner (she didn't even have to pay me to say that), father of an 11 year old (who loves modding games), generally relaxed dude, pretty big Simpsons fan, and into computers since back when it was considered nerdy and uncool.
I am looking to move into more Cloud-based or DevOps roles because I've found the more I learn about them, the more I want to learn. I hope to add value to whichever organization needs someone who can plan ahead, react quick and adapt to dynamic environments.
Please let me know if you have any questions, and thank you for your time!
