"To see the world, things dangerous to come to. To see behind walls, to draw closer. To find each other and to feel. That is the purpose of life."

Currently employed at Epic Systems as an Information Technology Operations Analyst/Manager to monitor the infrastructure for Epic-Hosted customers, and develop tools for crisis mitigation/recovery.
My interest in Computer Engineering began when I was fourteen, where I worked as lead technician for Ultrazone Laser Tag in Madison. During this time I rewired gamer vests, tested faulty circuit boards, and swapped out faulty components.
