About the Man
In my personal life, my hobbies include anything related to the following areas: video games, movies, music, computers, cars, bicycling, web design, billiards, reading (sometimes, just recently), and digital photography. I often plunge into impulsive phases where I spend hours at a time trying out new things. I have great friends that I’ve known for over a decade, a great family that is always there for me, and a great wife that I will not reference on the internet. Despite all these positive things, I somehow seem to find ways to complain a lot.
In my professional life, I am a systems administrator for a Michigan based bank. I manage and maintain current systems, design and configure new systems, and overall facilitate the “back end” of the I.T. infrastructure. I enjoy working in the I.T. field, and I am good at what I do.
About the Site
This site is my outlet to the world. I share my thoughts when I feel like I need to tell the world something. I electronically chastise things I do not like, praise things I do like, and explore ever changing internet technologies including php, css, xhtml, wordpress, and webdesign in general. This site also serves as a means for me to keep in contact with friends and family, share some of my digital self, and generally waste hours (and hours) of time that could probably be otherwise productive. Ultimately I try to chronicle some of the more important points in my life so that I can reflect on how and why I was feeling certain ways at certain times in my life.
