I'm a techie at heart, and I'm excited about a new hobby in my world... amateur (ham) radio! So far, it seems it's like some of my others, in that the ticket is the beginning; a license to learn. These are my favorite kind. I'm a lifetime learner, and love expanding my knowledge, as well as venturing out into new experiences. I've worked in the IT industry for twenty something years, and have specialized skills to meet the needs of the insurance and financial sectors. I'm an entrepreneur, and own/operate an information technology VAR/MSP (value-added reseller/managed service provider) company. We serve a range of small and medium sized businesses, who seek to modernize their IT infrastructure to compete in today's digitally connected marketplace. We also offer computer and laptop sales, service, maintenance and upgrades for the general public. We're also Amazon Associates, and maintain a curated list of top-selling electronics, computers & peripherials, software, and more! I also founded Aerotography Arizona in 2016, providing aerial photography and videography services throughout the desert southwest, across each of the four corners states. I'm a certificated Part 61 private pilot for fixed-wing airplane, single engine, land (ASEL). I also hold an FAA Part 107 certificate for commercial operation of small unmanned aircraft systems. When I'm not working, flying, or droning, I enjoy hiking, and photography as well. I'm mostly into landscape photography, but most anything that tickles my shutter vibe, I'll point and shoot at. Many of my favorite shots are taken from the aerial perspective, and many of those are of desert landscapes, rock formations, cactus, craters, and just all around amazing desert magnificence.
