Firstly, thanks for taking the time to check out my site. You're welcome to take a look at the other pages if you'd like to get a better sense of who I am professionally, but below is a brief summary of who I am personally, and how my passion for technology started.

I grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and currently live in Mankato, Minnesota. In my free time, I play guitar, work on various personal projects (such as The A.R.N.O.L.D. Project), enjoy spending time outdoors and with friends. Growing up, I played hockey for the New Mexico Ice Wolves, which is now a team in the NAHL, and is something that I'm incredibly proud to have been a part of. 

Small projects I worked on with my dad growing up inspired me to go to school for a formal education in IT. In 2022, I graduated with an Information Technology A.A.S. degree from M-State Community and Technical College (Moorhead, MN). Following the conclusion of my associates, I attended Minnesota State University Mankato, where I’ve been recognized for entrepreneurial efforts, and gained a strong skillset across business management, computer science, and database management. 

Through education, professional experience, and independent projects, I’ve built a strong skillset in IT systems management, data analysis, and project planning, complemented by a business-focused perspective.
