First and foremost, I am engaged to a beautiful woman and am a father of three boys. The 4 of them are my entire world and then some. My oldest has Aspbergers, which is on the mild side of Autism. He is the smartest 7 year old I know.

I am an Open Source Integrator and Systems Engineer, and work for a few very well-known companies. Although I am an "IT" guy, I dislike working on computers. It's not my thing. Give me a linux system to work on, though, and I'm in work heaven.

Aside from work and family, I keep myself busy with shoe stringing businesses, cooking anything and everything, traveling, playing and watching sports (go Yankees & Buckeyes!), and being with friends.

In the past, I've hired people to ghost write for me. Although I enjoying sharing my thoughts and experiences, I haven't been one to enjoy writing. This is my first real attempt at writing on a website, and am excited to be a part of HubPages!
