Son, brother, uncle, computer nerd (Assistant Director of Maxwell ITS at Syracuse University), and proud dog dad to Rusty, a very good boy who knows several tricks, loves visiting his Grammie's house, and has very strong opinions about squirrels. When I'm not wrangling computers at work, I'm automating everything in my house with Home Assistant, running local LLMs, hosting my own media server, and 3D printing things I probably don't need. Former semi-pro drummer for local Syracuse bands such as Liquid Lounge Band (Sammy Award nominated) as well as Capricorn Black, 3rd Circle (college), and Zodiak(high school). Current TF2 menace (CTF). Active vintage Commodore hardware hunter.
