So .. here's the stitch .. I'm literally just one random guy wiith a beautiful wife and two adorable kids (10 years apart .. and both girls). So as randos goes, I'm seriously outnumbered in my household. The thing is, I'm totally comfortable because I've spent much of my youth with a caring and tight-knit family where matriachs were typical. Headstrong chicks .. take my word on it.
I've been a techie most of my life, but never really got into it until much later in life when my wife and family helped me have the courage and supported me going back to school. Got my schooling all done in IT .. Network Engineering, to be exact ... and started as a Networking Field Engineer at an amazing company, Bear Technologies Corporation. It is quite honestly one of the most thrilling yet challenging companies I have ever worked for ... scratch that ... The Most Thrilling and Challenging! A real dream come true.
Before then, I just liked messing around with MS Frontpage (deprecated) and Adobe Dreamweaver which are general HTML website editors. It doesn't really compare to the ease of web design these days with amazing services like SquareSpace and Wix, but it's still fun to tinker. Back when I first started trying to make websites, I'd use services like geocities and angelfire which were free personal website hosting services. I was so new, and terrible at HTML coding that the most I could do was put a load of information down the center of a page with cheesy backgrounds, colors, and an unusually random set of topics. As I got older, and maybe wiser (though my family might feel I haven't changed much), I really started researching and learning HTML code and graphic design to really make a website unique to what I liked.
Over the years, I've helped build a few computers with some buddies. I helped family with the tech problems. So yeah .. always had an affinity for the tech world. It was made even better when I started watching youtube videos with some of my favorite YouTubers such as Linus Sebastian from LTT (amongst others) and Kyle Hansen from BitWit. They offered the best of two worlds I like .. computers and games. Go check them out.
So in a nutshell .. that's this guy .. me!
Oh, and you should know, I've always enjoyed being a part of a big family .. but sometimes I get a little anxiety when at large get togethers because I'm unconsciously trying to bid time with each person so I can enjoy time with everyone. Not sure how or why that became a thing, but it's just something I do, now. Below is a picture of what I could only describe as a "normal" family get-together. So ... yeah!
