About
Born in NYC and raised in Richmond, VA. I studied Business Information Systems at VCU, though my systems experience started years prior building PCs, repairing and modifying hardware, and managing IT for local businesses.
Professionally, I operate comfortably anywhere between a stored procedure and a soldering iron.
Outside of work: snowboarding, mountain biking, live music, road trips, and producing music.
