I’m a technology enthusiast, kindness evangelist, entertainment generalist, and purveyor of all things new and exciting living in Chicago. I grew up in the near southwest suburbs and have been living in the city proper with my spouse in various neighborhoods for over a decade now.

I spent six years attending UIC earning my bachelor’s and master’s degrees and decided that I loved Chicago so much I’d stay downtown and enjoy everything this wonderful city has to offer. At this point I’m not sure whether I could survive too long without easy access to Chicago pizza. I also love travelling and exploring new cities.

My nerdy hobbies include ham radio, 3D printing, board games, and perfecting my home theater. My less-nerdy hobbies include camping/backpacking, riding my motorcycle, and cross-country road trips. My spouse and I spend most weekends in the summer relaxing on our deck and taking in the beautiful Chicago skyline view. Then in the winter we hide inside and invite our favorite people over for board games.
