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 – “more power!”. Though, 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 Shop 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.

Thank you for coming here and checking me out. If you want to find out more about my Professional IT career, check out my Resume!
