Welcome to my personal site

A little bit about where I am and where I am headed.

I live in Piqua, Ohio and work in information technology. Between work and college, I spend a lot of my time around computers, networking, troubleshooting, learning new technology, and making time for the people and hobbies that matter to me.

My Hometown

I live in Piqua, Ohio. I like that it is a smaller city while still being close to Troy, Dayton, and plenty of places to go when I need something.

College & Career

I am studying Computer Information Technology at the University of the Cumberlands. My goal is to keep building a career in IT while growing my skills in networking, systems, and cybersecurity.

The Internet & Me

The internet is part of nearly everything I do, from work and school to entertainment and communication. Working in IT has also made me appreciate what happens behind the scenes to keep people connected.
