I'm 31, day job is for a security company, one of the lucky ones that still gets to entirely work from home.
I enjoy growing vegetables in my #garden, spending time with my wife and #dogs, and #gaming.
I definitely identify as a #nerd and a #techy. My recent tech projects have been building out my own blog site, as well as running #docker on my #raspberrypi #homelab, hosting this #mastodon instance.

Great Saturday morning with the wife! Grabbed some #lattes and beans at Tala Coffee Roasters in Libertyville, IL. And next up we’re headed to the Illinois Gluten-Free and Allergen Friendly Expo! Keeping busy despite the rainy day.

@christianselig ah, yes, flipping off the cover of my iPad just to find it is dead, my favorite weekly pastime.

Tired: telling everyone you can get a used mini PC that's faster than a Raspberry Pi

Wired: realizing Raspberry Pis aren't impossible to buy at MSRP anymore, and that they have different use cases than old x86 thin clients

I'm here till 9 lol

1. Waking up at 5 AM
2. Cold showers
3. Meditating
4. Intermittent fasting
5. His dad owns the company
