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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
