My silly Simpsons-style avatar that I use pretty much everywhere.

Hi. I do computer stuff. You can see what I’ve done professionally here, though I’ve been known to dabble in many disciplines.

I enjoy playing various types of games; tabletop roleplaying games (e.g. Dungeons and Dragons), board games, and yes, video games.

I am also an Eagle Scout and Scoutmaster.
