I’m an Operations Director at an MSP, an Air Force veteran, and a lifelong tinkerer. Before IT, I served as an integrated avionics journeyman, working on aircraft systems where attention to detail and troubleshooting under pressure weren’t optional. That mindset carried straight over when I moved into IT, and I’ve been working in the field officially since 2016.

Today I split my time between leading teams and service delivery at an MSP and getting my hands dirty in the home lab. My day-to-day spans Windows and Windows Server, Active Directory, multiple Linux distros, and macOS, with Proxmox and Hyper-V handling virtualization. I’m a big believer that the best way to learn is to build something, break it, and build it better.

I’m not here to be fancy, just to share what I’ve learned, what’s worked, and what I’d do differently. If you’re into tech, development, homelabbing, or making the jump from the military into IT, you’re in the right place.
