Personal Interests:

I enjoy putting down the keyboard and getting outside as often as possible. I’ve built a home office setup in Western Maine complete with a kit-built log cabin and 20ft Yurt. The eventual goal is to be the only Yurt owner on the east coast with a 10GbE ScienceDMZ.

Location:

Boston, MA and Western Maine
