About Me

I am a dedicated IT professional with a strong focus on networking and security, fields I’ve specialized in since 2008. I enjoy working in IT because it’s always evolving, presenting new challenges and opportunities to learn. This constant innovation drives me to stay ahead of the curve and motivates me to solve complex problems with creative solutions.

Before entering IT, I gained valuable experience across various industries, including food service, retail, sales, landscaping, automotive, security, and nightclub promotion. These roles honed my adaptability, resilience, and strong work ethic—traits I first developed at 13 years old when I began my career at McDonald’s.

I was born and raised in Maryland, with formative years spent on a tobacco plantation in Rogersville, Tennessee, until age 12, where I learned the value of hard work during summers on the family farm. From ages 16-20, I lived on and off in Florida, primarily in Ocala, which exposed me to new environment and experiences.

Outside of work, I enjoy activities that challenge and inspire me, such as flying drones, fishing, 3D printing, martial arts, hiking, kayaking, standup comedy, PC gaming, and riding motorcycles.

I’m looking to bring my technical expertise, curiosity, and dedication to a forward-thinking organization where I can make a meaningful impact and continue to grow. Thank you for taking the time to learn about me, I hope to speak soon!
