Originally from Northwest Indiana, I arrived in Chicago via Las Vegas. IT was something I was working with from an early age. I was the only one in the house with a knack for figuring out how the TV worked (my skills proved especially crucial during a big game). This eventually led me to working in the field of technology. I got my start out in Las Vegas, working phone support for a casino corporation. From there I was put on the Casino help desk and eventually grew into the role of a Network Engineer. I love that in technology there is always something new to learn. There are very few people, if anyone, who know it all. But I still aim to try.

When I am not working you will find me studying or playing video games. My other two big hobbies are strength training and cooking, which kind of go hand in hand. I like to hike, bike, and do just about any outdoor activity as Chicago weather permits.
