Who are you?
I am a self proclaimed tech geek living and working in the Northern Virginia (NOVA), Washington DC Metro area. My interests here include *NIX based computer systems (Mac OSX, Linux, BSD, UNIX),mobile technology, FOSS (free open source software), web development, design, and photography.
I am also a member of the GIA.
There, I am known as Agent 711.
Who else are you?
I am a husband, a father, a combat veteran, a tinkerer, an outdoors man, a dreamer, a lover, and for the most part human.
I have earned my living many ways including, selling guns, serving beers, and slinging bullets.
Now I live my life behind my desk as an analyst, quietly shuffling papers and pushing pencils while watching my 401k slowly rise.
What’s in your utility belt?
