Long time IT guy with most of my career spent administering or developing solutions on multiple platforms. Most of my experience is on IBM Z (z/OS and z/VM) as well as Linux (multiple hardware architectures) and Mac OS X (been a fanboy since 2005 before Mac was cool).

I enjoy making things work well and intuitively.

Outside of work I like to make things and dabble in CNC machining (I own a Tormach PCNC1100, design, build and repair electronics and I love hunting big game and target shooting.

Married for 25 years, father to 70 kids (been a foster parent for 22 years) and papa to 5 adopted kids.
