Hello

from Monterey, California — March 28, 2025

I updated this portion of the website in 2023, now two years later it’s time to change it to reflect who I am and what I’m doing. I currently manage enterprise networks for a big agriculture company. Before that I worked at the Naval Postgraduate School working in Cyber Security and before that I worked at the Defense Language Institute as a service desk technician. You can follow me on LinkedIn or email me. We won’t make it easy here for the bots to spam my email. It’s my name @ this domain. Say hello. Some things have changed since 2019, but what hasn’t changed is my desire to continue traveling and documenting my trips on this website.

The Portfolio tab was prominent on my website for many years but I removed it because it was time. My early twenties were consumed by software design but I’m no longer in my early twenties and software design is no longer part of my life. I’m archiving this work instead. Removing its prominence, its ability to be indexed and simply putting it behind: Design Archive.
