So who am I? Professionally I'm currently working as a DevOps Engineer, in a former life I was a Developer and sometimes a Scrum Master. At one time I thought I had an allergy to DevOps, but once I understood the goals, I saw the light and have become a convert and an evangelist.

Outside of that, I'm a husband, father, fisherman, and hunter. I love to get outdoors with my family. I'm also a bit of a lifehacker and a biohacker trying to squeeze as much out of life as I can. I'm a Pluralsight junkie which just plays into my voracious appetite for knowledge. The thing I always need to work on though is putting my learnings to use, but hey everybody needs a hobby.
