About
Why does this website exist?
I am a "do it yourself" type of person in all aspects. I don't want to rely on any other platform(s) to handle my presence online. Rather than have a LinkedIn, Instagram or other type of account I put all that content here.
One of my favorite passions is to travel. New experiences are how we grow and my favorite way to do that is to visit new places! The picture above is from Mustang Island State Park in Texas.
Who I am
I'm a father of three who married his high school sweetheart. My family is my number one priority but they won't be featured on this website out of respect for their own decisions.
Interestingly, I started my career in Radio and TV Broadcast.
I still use my talents from that time of my life when doing presentations or to keep training presentations fun and engaging.
Technology has always been something I have had a natural proficiency for. When we started our family I started to really appreciate how a profession with more stability would be ideal for our family. I went back to school enrolling in a four year program for Computer Networking and Information Security shortly after my daughter was born.
We all sacrificed a lot during this time. It was very difficult but in the end I was very proud to have earned highest honors while being in school full time, working full time and starting a family.
Things I love
Aviation! I have been obsessed with all things flying most of my life and have always dreamed of being a pilot. To this day something can't fly near me without me staring at it and trying to identify what it is and where it is going.
While in college I was able spend a lot of time working around different aircraft as a linemen at a FBO. I was able to fly in all sorts of aircraft including the T-6 Texan and a P-51 Mustang. I still love just being airports!
Eventually, I was able to fly on my own in 2018 when I became a powered para-glider pilot (that's me in the picture).
I can not being to express how much I have been challenged, grown, and continue to overcome in my quest to conquer the sky.
