I'm an IT professional who grew up curious about how the things around me work — and never really stopped. From disassembling my first PC to designing a production-grade homelab, I've spent the last several years turning that curiosity into a career.
Today I'm a Senior IT Technician at PetIQ, supporting a live manufacturing and warehouse environment with 150+ employees. I maintain the servers, storage, and enterprise software that keep operations moving — domain services, BarTender label printing, ERP modules, and the S2 security system — and deploy the infrastructure around them: directional Wi-Fi antennas on the warehouse floor, camera systems with NVRs, structured cabling, and a small stack of internal Docker and Linux services behind a reverse proxy.
I came up through the trenches. Before PetIQ I spent nearly two years at Alakazam IT — first on the help desk, then promoted to Field Technician after 10 months — deploying, troubleshooting, and maintaining infrastructure for small and mid-sized businesses across Utah County. Every client was a different stack, a different problem, a different puzzle.
Outside of the day job, I'm finishing my BS in Information Technology at Utah Valley University with a concentration in Network Administration and Security, and I run a multi-server homelab that serves as a personal lab for everything I'm learning — from Proxmox and reverse proxies to Tailscale mesh networking and TLS automation. I also run a managed services platform on top of it — IT's IT — hosting mail, documentation, SSO, and workflow automation for a small client base.
Before IT, I spent two years as a missionary in the Hungary Romania Mission, where I also served as Mission Secretary — managing technical problem-solving, online immigration workflows, and the systems that kept a distributed team communicating across two countries. It taught me how to stay calm under pressure, learn a new language fast, and lead a team.
