I get personal satisfaction from making a measurable contribution to companies I work for. Making a difference is one of the many things I value.

I spend my free time learning new processes and methodologies on a mid-scale home network that consists of 30 devices and 24x7 access to a co-located server. I am currently creating an ERP system and other utilities using the game API for the MMO EVE-Online. I am a student pilot, and a father of 8 wonderful children.
