About Me

Originally from Plainfield, IL, I moved to Madison, WI after college to start my career at CDW. I received my B.S. in Computer Information Systems from Bradley University with a concentration in Software, Web, and Computer security. In addition to my projects at work, I also maintain a home lab full of servers and applications that are mostly homegrown. If you've made it this far, that means it's still up and running! I use this lab to practice some of my skills that I can transfer over to my day job, including Kubernetes, Docker, Ansible, Networking, and Software Development (usually in Python).

In addition to my technical background, I am also an avid musician. I sang with the Bradley Chorale and continue to sing and play the piano. I strive to find musical groups to participate in around the Madison area. When not participating in music, I'm outdoors in the summer and renovating my condo in the winter. I'm no triathlete, but I've grown to love most outdoor activities including running, hiking, biking, kayaking, and swimming.
