As a dedicated father of four, I artfully attempt to juggle the dynamic symphony of family life with the harmonious tunes of my euphonium. When I'm not orchestrating network solutions as an IT Operations Manager for the Department of Energy, you'll find me diving into the exhilarating realms of video games or serving up a storm on the pickleball court. Well, not really - I kinda suck, but I sure love it! A devout though highly unorthodox member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I blend faith with function, always seeking to support, uplift, and inspire. Currently, I'm navigating the exciting world of Python and Javascript, adding coding to my repertoire of skills. In a nutshell, I'm a Network Engineer by trade, a lifelong learner at heart, and a family man always.
