Welcome to my digital domain! I'm a Marine Veteran with a passion for technology and a love for motorcycle riding. When I'm not immersed in the virtual world, you'll often find me cruising on my bike, relishing the freedom of the open road.
My perpetual online addiction journey into the digital realm began when I received my first computer at the age of 9, before which I frequented the library for my dose of web time. This early exposure ignited a passion for exploration, leading me to devour non-fiction and fantasy books like "The Lord of the Rings" with voracious curiosity. I spent a lot of time skipping classes to engage in online shinnanigans, with the exception of coding and electronics classes. Growing up with technology has helped me see not only the dangers that come with technology but how the power of technology can be used for the betterment of society.

My lack of school attendance introduced a damper which made college scholarships out of reach. I made a bold decision to join the military and follow my great grandfather's footsteps, ending up joining the best service branch that will ever created, serving among the President's own. When my recruiter asked if I'd explored other branch options, I simply said, 'Would I be here if I had?'
Those four years in the military opened doors to a world of opportunities in the realm of technology. From wearing various hats in different technology departments, I gained invaluable experience and expertise. But beyond the technical skills acquired, it was the bonds forged with my brothers and sisters in arms that left an indelible mark on me. I wouldn't trade those experiences for anything. They've shaped me into the IT professional and man I am today, imbuing me with a sense of resilience, purpose and camaraderie that imbuses every aspect of my work. As I continue on this journey, I carry with me the lessons learned and the memories made, grateful for every twist and turn that led me here.
That's about the gist of it, I currently spend most my time continue to work in the Cybersecurity space keeping myself busy tinkering with computers as I always have.
I'm also the proud cat dad of two furry feline companions.
