About Me

Self proclaimed nerd, technologist, gamer, & avid learner.
An organized chaos of my work, interests, & accomplishments.

Interests

Technology

Technology has always interested me, starting with my love of video games (and taking apart anything I could get my hands on). Eventually I began in the IT industry with my first "Tech job" at a small startup company in sunny Orange County California. I worked as tech support and eventually fell into manual QA and automation testing. Eventually that startup was acquired by Scott's Miracle Gro and shortly after the acquisition I found myself in Colorado. After things fizzled out with the startup company I found a new job working for a PBX manufacturer/telecom company where I really began to learn the ins and outs of the IT industry and continued to grow my skill set and bridges.

Video Games

Video games hold a special place in my heart. My journey started with a Gameboy color and Pokémon, moving to Nintendo 64, GameCube, Xbox, PlayStation, and finally PC gaming—where I built my first gaming rig(which has lasted to this day and where I am writing this from). I loved to play World of Warcraft and have met amazing people on that game and even met one of my best friends to this day, Dustin, on World of Warcraft.

Cooking

I’ve always loved cooking, and it became essential when I moved out. My amazing friend Dustin really taught almost everything I know about cooking and I will be forever thankful for his teachings! Some favorite dishes: mapo tofu, szechuan eggplant, street tacos, and pan seared fish and meats, if it can go into an oven or be pan seared I cam confidence in my ability to cook it.

Plants & Bio-tech

Plants have fascinated me since childhood as well. I've dabbled in horticulture and gardening, hydroponics, and aeroponics and earthen building research as my dream is to eventually build a self-sustaining earthship on my own plot of land, with my own two hands.with my own plot of land.
