Interests

Apart from being a IT Support Specialist, I enjoy spending my time being working on personal projects and trying new activities. This year my current projects have been working on my home server, where I run a video sharing service for friends and family, and host websites or other services. I also have been working on my 3D printers, which needed a bit of maintenance, so I can create parts to meet my friends and families needs and solve their problems, as well as my own.

When I get out of the house, I enjoy playing darts with my team at the Knights of Columbus. It's nice to meet new people there and cooperating to win, or lose in stride! I also volunteer for their technical needs as they try to modernize the building, to bring in more customers, events, and hopefully more darts players!
