I grew up in the northern part of West Virginia in a small town that is very close to Pittsburgh, PA. Being so close to the city, I am indeed all things Pittsburgh, especially a huge Pittsburgh Penguins fan.
I have had an interest in computers at a young age. I learned networking by messing around with my parents’ computers. I had set up and configured their WiFi, routers, and internet and took apart their old computers at their home when I was about 13. A few years later, I taught myself computer programming at the age of 17. I had built from scratch a few different applications for my parents’ office to make it more efficient.
I attended West Virginia University and graduated in December of 2020. My first job out of college was in January of 2021, where I worked for an insurance agency in West Virginia doing IT and programming. During these few months, my colleague and I re-engineered a web application and made it more functional and a better application in general. After this job, I had worked in other various fields and jobs, from the restaurant industry to the dental field.
In April of 2021, my wife Julie and I got married in West Virginia. We had met in college at WVU. We then moved to the Cleveland area in July of 2021. Julie has lived in the Cleveland area for about 15 years.
When I’m not working, I enjoy playing tennis, watching Premier League soccer, and playing other various sporting activities. Also, I enjoy roller coasters, traveling and seeing new areas, speaking and learning languages, such as Italian and French, as I am pretty advanced and conversational in Italian, and sharing life together with family and friends. Other activities that I like but don’t get to do often are fishing and spending time on the water.
I love the hands-on work at Iconium and working with a great team, solving difficult issues and problems for our clients, and getting to know and building relationships with many of our clients.
