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.

Great write up Anderson. I have done some of these projects and can say that the RPI is a great way to learn and create.

I had been playing around with computers for some time and found it via a friend that was a computer guru back in high school so it was around 1995ish. Played with it and said "nope". Wasn't until maybe 2009 when I picked it up again and used Ubuntu off and on. When Unity DE came out, that ended Linux until about almost 3 years ago now when I was reintroduced to Linux from my mentor. played with Ubuntu and Mint for about a years and have been fully Linux for a solid 2 years. If it weren't for my work place, I would be total Linux.
