I genuinely love running—it’s how I maintain focus, relieve stress, and push my personal limits. My background as a high school track and cross country runner built my endurance, and I still chase major distance goals today. I’ve successfully completed the demanding Pittsburgh Half Marathon not once, but twice (in 2017 and 2024), proving my dedication to long-term discipline and goal achievement.
I designed and run an enterprise-grade network right here in my house. Serving as a continuous learning environment, my homelab allows me to deploy new virtual infrastructure (including the VM hosting this website) and actively experiment with technologies, ensuring my IT knowledge is always current and expansive.
I love a good technical challenge, and one of my biggest projects is my 2006 BMW 325i. I bought it in practically junk condition and have personally rebuilt it into a track-ready autocross car. I thrive on figuring out and working through the complex computer and electrical problems these Bimmers are famous for. For me, tackling brain-wrenching wiring and diagnostic puzzles isn't just fun, it's deeply rewarding. That feeling of finding the root cause after hard work and struggle makes the entire process worthwhile.
My appreciation for photography has grown into a strong interest in capturing striking landscapes. For me, it's a fun challenge to always be on the lookout for a new quality photo that earns a spot as my computer or phone background.
