My Resume

the man, behind the man, behind the dude playing the dude disguised as another dude!

I’m Tenacious, Hyper-Focused, Eager, Versatile. I’m also Obsessive and Passionate at whatever i put my mind to.

Since I can remember, I’ve always tinkered with computers and electronics. My favorite on-screen personality was “Tim the Tool Man” from Home Improvement. I share the same passion for making things better, Faster and stronger. I’m pretty sure I have not blown up any houses or dropped a steel girder on my wife’s car though, so i have that going for me!

Throughout my life, I’ve “Dabbled” in several fields. I’ve worked in a manufacturing plant (as an equipment operator for Lathes, CNC, Blanchard and even in several production kilns), Engine/Machine Shops and even Low-voltage/Network installation, I definitely pride myself in being able to have at least a working knowledge of how things work.

Outside of the working fields that I found myself in, I am an avid “DIY-er” and am also I am a “weekend mechanic” and love getting together with my friends and working on our projects.
