- **2× cat dad** to Mini and Max.
- **Band geek.** I play trombone. I also played tuba in my college marching band, and I've happily retired from carrying it. I'm also picking piano back up.
- **DIY warrior.** I like making my space my own, especially with projects that need tinkering: an animatronic parrot, and a Home Assistant setup. I'm also always testing new recipes.
- **Tech nerd and lifelong learner.** Hence the MBA, the certifications, and this help center.
