About Me

I am a husband, father of 4, and general lover of information and increasing my knowledge and skill bases whenever I can in an attempt to fully experience the world. 

An avid musician since age 6, I would learn the recorder and clarinet, but ultimately find that the electric bass would be my instrument of choice. Even taking it as far as having the honor of gracing the stage at the Philadelphia Academy of Music in both my Junior and Senior years of High School. 

I have spent the last 19 years honing my craft as an Automotive and Diesel technician. My need to know how things work has lead to a successful career in the field, and I know hope to convert my knowledge with wrenches into knowledge with keystrokes. 

Outside of my professional career, I can be generally noted as a lover of craft beer and the brewery scene, nature and gardening lover, and also regularly open my home to many foster dogs that have been abandoned until they can be found a welcoming family. 


I am excited to share my interests and expertise in order to help you grow your business, share your story, review a product, or even just to tell  a story.
