My name is Sam. I am a husband to my best friend, a father of three amazing girls, and a modern day gear head, bending bits, bolts, and atoms to my will in fun and exciting ways.

I have worked as a photographer, graphic designer, aircraft mechanic on a few fighter jets, Linux Sytem Administrator, Network Administrator, and I designed the network and operating system for the ACB12 MK160 Gun Computer System that controls this thing.

I like old cars, whisk(e)y, wine, coffee, clicky keyboards, the sound of jet noise, and the smell of JP8. I play a couple of instruments and enjoy any music as long as it’s good. I care about text editors and clean code, operating systems and network topologies. I’m a rare breed of human and my wife deserves a medal for enduring me every day.

From time to time I have an opinion or story I would like to share. I hope you enjoy what I have to say as much as I enjoyed writing it.
