Full Biography

I have been interested in computers since middle school. Since then I have been working with computer hardware and software alike. That includes anywhere from building a computer with all the correct parts to helping design some small software pieces that help increase work efficiency.

As of now I have 7+ years under my belt within the professional IT realm and all I can say is being as fast-paced of a realm it is makes it that much more exciting to be a part of. Over the years I have learned so much about hardware and software and all the advances that we as a community have made.

If there is one thing to take away from all of it I would say that I have learned more doing research on my own and from the community as a whole then I could ever have imagined. I truly do learn something new everyday and that's what makes the IT realm so special and unique.

Ideally I would love to be in the film industry working in VFX but still keep in touch with my gaming contacts and running GamerSciz.
