About Me

• I love my wife Tobie and proud father of Caleb.
  
• Born and raised in Arkansas.  Originally from Magnolia.  Currently in Bentonville.
• University of Arkansas graduate.
  
• Engineer at Walmart Global Technology. I work on our cloud platforms.  You don't see the stuff I write, but you've used it.  My team writes & supports the platforms our stores and web sites run on.
• Computer nerd. I love building computers and other technology. See pictures of my current custom water cooling gaming PCs in the pictures below. I love water cooling so I can overclock and push my computers to the extreme. I have 2 servers running Unraid as a file server, Plex, this website, Home Assistant for home automation, and other home lab projects. Currently really enjoying handheld gaming systems like my Steam Deck and GPD Win. Tuning these mobile systems to get the best performance with minimum power usage is really fun.
• Gamer. Primarily a PC gamer, but I also collect consoles. I own all major consoles back to Pong plus many rare consoles. Mostly rpg, strategy, & tactics games.
  
• Love Science Fiction books, movies, and tv.
• Sports fan.  Football and baseball are my favorite sports, but I love any form of competition. All-State in 2 sports in high school (football & shot put).  My teams are the Arkansas Razorbacks, New Orleans Saints, and Chicago Cubs. 
  
• Our family loves Disney and Universal theme parks. We're season ticket holds at Disney World, Disneyland, and Universal Studios Orlando. We vacation at the parks multiple times per year.
