I currently handle the IT support for a large local business. Although I use Windows everyday, you will find I try to use Linux and open source software anytime I can. I use Linux at home on several RPI2 devices and computers. I dabble in audio still but IoT has become a passion of mine recently. I am currently studying for The Linux Foundation System Administrator certification.

When I am not working on computers or IoT devices, you will find me outside on my family farm. Yes, you heard right. I love spending time with my wife and children on the farm. They are the reason I do what I do everyday.

You can usually find mind on LinkedIn. Send me an email any time.

Although I am considered a new comer to Linux, I find it much easier to use than Windows now. I still have to use Windows only because my company doesn't believe that it would be easy for co-workers to convert to Open Source products such as Linux or LibreOffice for instance. A business that says go for it is one that is willing to change; not many of them out there. Change can be good.

The RPI is making the IoT grow and grow. And the fact that kids were the ones writing the code for these RPI modules is what amazes me. Excited to see what else they can come up with.
