Interests

Throughout my education and professional experiences, I have gained a large amount of knowledge in networking, network security and IT engineering. I have taken this knowledge and applied it to personal projects in my home such as a home server, developing my home network to satisfy my needs, as well as different projects to aid in schoolwork or other needs.

Outside of school and work, I enjoy getting away from sitting in front of a computer. Every chance I can get to get outside I take, whether it is to fish, snowboard, play paintball or other activities.
