Updated April 15, 2025, from my home in Whittier, CA.

💻 Still running my blog on Ghost CMS and couldn't be happier with the switch away from WordPress. Writing more, fiddling with the platform less.

👨🏻‍💻 The homelab has come a long way since the dual-Dell-laptop days. Running a proper Unraid server now with Plex, a full *arr media stack, and Home Assistant handling most of the smart home stuff. Monitoring it all with a Prometheus and Grafana stack on a dedicated Raspberry Pi, which has become its own obsession.

💼 Work keeps me busy managing IT for a local nonprofit church, everything from network infrastructure and security cameras to cloud services and phone systems. Lots of interesting problems to solve.

🌱 The woodworking has taken a back seat but the garden is getting some attention. Roses are the current focus.

🏎️ Keeping up with the Formula 1 season and making time for board games when I can.

🕹️ Currently playing Arc Raiders on PC.
