The person behind
the stack.

I'm a system administrator and DevOps engineer from Moundsville, WV with over 15 years of hands-on experience in network buildout, server configuration, and cybersecurity. I believe in infrastructure that just works — secure, observable, and maintainable.

Beyond the terminal, I'm a music lover, craft beer & cider aficionado, and someone who's somehow managed to visit all 50 states. I also volunteer as Webmaster for the Virginia LGBTQ+ Network — because community matters.
