About Me

I am currently a Solution Deployment Manager at Glassdome, where I help customers with their real-time reporting, SCADA, OEE Metrics, and KPIs.

I studied at the University of West Georgia in Carrollton with a focus in history, where I got an Associate's Degree (hardest degree to get, actually). I have a wide variety of passions and enjoy many activities in my free time. I enjoy pickleball, making kombucha, hiking with friends, long walks on the beach, the discovery of new hobbies, and the Oxford comma. I love working on my 1991 Honda Nighthawk 750 and old radios; I have a STA-78 Realistic upstairs and a Sansui A2000 in the living area. Hell, I built this website with HTML coding so I am always tinkering in the analog and digital world!
