I love being happy and helping people, it is my goal in life to do everything with pride, to continually improve myself and to always keep an open mind.

In the early 2000's, my brother and I started a computer repair business called A Flock of Geeks, Inc.

We were small and it was exciting, our business was meaningful and personal. We got to know our clients well. Often, they would call because they were in the middle of an emergency and sometimes, to them, it felt like the worst day ever! Their computer just crashed, and they were worried that they had lost their pictures, schoolwork, taxes, or a million other important pieces of their lives, and they might never get them back. In most cases, it was a bad power supply, a cable or something simple. The few times we had major issues, we were lucky enough to partner with other local companies that specialized in data recovery and ultimately, they would save the day. The relief you see on a person’s face when they know they haven't, "lost everything," on their computer means the world to you. Fixing problems is rewarding, teaching people how to use technology is fun and a strong sense of community is very fulfilling. Those are the aspects I loved the most back then and it is what I am looking forward to in the future. I hope to help people on a larger scale this time. My goal is to someday solve cyber security issues at a high level, make a difference in people’s digital lives and leverage my hobbies and free time to have a meaningful impact on the welfare and happiness of those in my community and beyond. This is the direction I am heading in, and I hope to meet you along the way.
