I'm a Christ follower, a husband to my beautiful wife Christina, a father, and man who loves to learn. My plan is to help improve the Gentoo domains around the web by adding and improving documentation, aiding in website maintenance, and executing system administration. I am passionate about creating and sustaining a strong developer culture within Gentoo. As I continue learning about Gentoo it only makes sense to help make it better for everyone by helping others find their way.

My personal gratitude is owed to all past and present Gentoo developers who collectively commit thousands of hours each month into making Gentoo the most flexible and powerful software distribution ever created!

Let's make Gentoo better together!
