Bio

The first time I ever used a computer was when I was around 4 years old. My Mom used to take us over to a friend of her's house who babysat us, and the woman's husband owned a computer. He was also a huge flight simulator affectionado and pretty soon he was letting me fly some of the planes. After that, I got the typical Oregon Trail experience on Apple IIe's which later led to me owning a Commodore 64 and a Mac Plus.

I grew up with an interest in taking computers apart and putting them back together, and still do it today. I just finished up my obligation to the US Navy and am now employed at a bank.I have performed work related to cryptology, electrical engineering, and now network security. In my non-geeky time I enjoy going out, spending time with my fiancee (who also appears on the show from time to time), and making sure the dog doesn't pee on everything.

You can also find me hanging with the Hak5 crew at their house in Williamsburg, making funny faces on the setcam when it's on, and appearing on every episode I can make it over to their place for.
