Much of my technical background is on the development page. This is a brief biography of who I am.

I was born and raised in the Quad Cities, which is part of Illinois/Iowa on the Mississippi River. I was born in Moline, raised in Rock Island.

I have 3 wonderful children, Jeffrey, Jena, and Jordan. Each of them are involved in their own projects that I do have linked on my site. The older two play travel baseball and softball. The youngest spends time building his own website. He wants to be a meteorologist someday.

I spend much of my day learning and working in the DevOps world and when that’s over, I like to relax by either spending time at the local ballpark or in front of whatever video games I like to play. I’m primarily on Xbox and PC. I also like to cook, build, fix and engineer things around the house. I still don’t know how to wash and fold my clothes, but my lovely wife likes to have the kids do that for us.

I like to travel across the United States. You’ll find my favorite places are out east in West Virginia, North Carolina, New York, and Florida. I do travel internationally, which is a fantastic way to travel. There’s an entire world out there that I’d like to explore at some point.
