About Me

Welcome to my site! I’m so glad you stopped by and I would like to tell you a little more about myself.

Faith

I’m a follower of Jesus Christ. God sent His son Jesus to pay the price for our sins because there is no way we could ever pay that debt ourselves (John 3:16). He has broken my heart with His love for me and for the world. Now I use every means I have to spread His Gospel and let others know about His healing and redemption.

Family

I am blessed to be married to a wonderful, godly woman. We have two sons and are loving every minute with them. Parenting is our greatest adventure and we are learning as we go. I consider the boys and my wife a blessing from God and take my role in their lives very seriously.

Tech

I really, really enjoy technology. I always have. It’s my belief that God gives us talents, abilities, and interests for a reason. My goal is to use what He’s given me to spread the word about Him and be a blessing to others, and I plan to have fun with it along the way. I have been in IT for over 20 years now and served in a variety of roles from systems and database administration to technical training and people leadership. My primary focus is on data and the cloud. I am Azure and SQL Server certified, a PowerShell junkie, and a fan of Linux as well.
