I am, in reverse chronological order, a father, husband, brother, and son.

In my personal life, I enjoy cooking, reading books, drinking wine, and spending time in the outdoors.

In my professional life I am essentially a “Solutions Architect”, but which I mean I use 20+ years of experience in networking, storage systems, various server operating systems, and various virtualization technologies to design solutions to business needs.

I believe that automation is the key to predictable and repeatable outcomes, and my main goal at any job is to automate my way out of that job.

This blog probably won’t have any of the big design solutions I’ve worked on for employers, but will instead have tidbits that have been useful to me over the years. This is an online notebook mainly for myself, because I forget things if I don’t write them down. If you get some use out of it, that’s great, too.
