About
Hi, I'm Marcus. I spent about twenty years in warehouse logistics, and these days my body is telling me it's time for a change. I've always been the person people come to when the printer or the scanner acts up, and I finally figured out that fixing those problems is what I enjoy most.

Thanks for reading, and thanks in advance for your patience with my questions.
