Welcome to my site! This is what I like to do in my spare time that is in my spare time. By that I mean, I work full time in information security, work another full time as a musician, work-out part time (3-4 days a week at the gym), bowl on a professional league, and help friends with web design. I have time for basically… well… just that. As my colleagues at work say, I am the weirdest nerd they know.

I like to post things on my site every now and then; usually dealing with current events, information security, or just random thoughts that cross my mind… even a vent/rant or two is possible. The postings may be sparse in terms of time, but that’s because of all the above. In any case, this site is a work in progress (and will be for some time) so if you see something incomplete and/or seemingly -out of place- it’ll be fixed when possible.

As I mentioned above, I currently work in information security as an Internet & Security Analyst for a company in Connecticut that specializes in financial services for banks and other financial institutions. From time to time I run into things that may be of use to other people and as such will post on this site. I also play guitar in a rock band called Novus Dae. Between both jobs I have little time, but in the time I do have I like to post things on this site, go to the gym, ride my Harley, and watch the Boston Red Sox.
