Born and raised in Illinois, I graduated from Illinois State University in 2024 with a B.S. in CyberSecurity.
During my time in school I interned at Afni, Inc as an Enterprise Web App Developer where I was able to get my first hands-on experience in an enterprise environment.
Shortly after graduating, I returned to Afni as an IT Support Technician.
I spend my working days helping end-users with their technicial issues and coordinating with remote teams to perform in-office work.
Outside of work, I spend a lot of time exercising or playing video games.
I really enjoy hiking whenever I get the chance, and my best memories are from when I was a Boy Scout hiking the wilderness at Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico.
But when I'm indoors, I especially love to play games with my friends or watch television with the family.
If I told you how many hours I've spent playing some games, you might question whether I ever see sunlight.
Helping people out, solving problems, and having a good laugh is what gets me up and out of bed in the morning.
I really appreciate a good challenge that I can overcome with out of the box thinking. Being able to draw upon past experiences to solve the issues of today truly fulfills me.
I'm always on the look out for new oppotunities to learn and grow as an IT professional. I just think computers are neat!
