I'm a husband, a father of 4, and an overall geek. I have a wide range of interests and hobbies, from reading, arts and crafts, through welding and home brewing. I love learning to do new things, and as a result I tend to bounce around from hobby to hobby. The thirst for knowledge never ends!

By day I work in Information Technology management. My duties include everything from personnel management through help desk jockey, network support technician, server administrator, and general code monkey. Current specialties are point of sale related hardware and software, and credit card processor integration.

Outside of my day job I enjoy spending time doing things I love. I enjoy spending time with my wife and my kids, which can be sitting down and watching a TV show together, or going to play in the park. During the summer I help coach baseball team for the local Challenger league. I have a very wide social circle which has a very diverse set of people. When I get time to myself, I enjoy losing myself in a good book, working on my hobbies, and learning new things. You can throw a healthy dose of "watching too much TV" in there too.

In addition to enjoying the hobbies themselves, I enjoy teaching and sharing them with others too. Part of the fun is meeting other enthusiasts and helping each other learn more about the mutual interests. Bringing new people into a hobby is a sure-fire way to keep the passion alive well into the future.
