PERSONAL.
Other than how many selfies a day I take with our dogs here are some of the other things about me that you might find interesting.
ARTISTIC
Love for art and creativity is the driving force behind most things I do and enjoy in my professional and personal lives.
Whether it is creating, appreciating, critiquing, or collecting, a passion for art is constant in my life.
TECHY
I am an avid tech enthusiast. I've been building my own PCs since computers ran on DOS and ran games like Wolfenstein.
I also love discovering and tinkering with emerging technology like A.I. (please don't kill us all) and VR.
ANALYTICAL
As much as art has always been my passion, I am also an analytical thinker and spreadsheet lover.
My background includes web development experience. This helps me be aware of the challenges of someone having to build what I design.
COLLECTOR
Probably painfully obvious at this point but I wear my nerd flag loud and proud.
If it is covered in webs, has pointy ears or is swinging a laser sword there is a very good chance I'm a fan of it and collect it.
My wife is very patient.
