Family Man

My biggest priority in life is my family. As far as life progression, my wife and I pretty much did everything in reverse. We had our daughter, as teenagers, then finished school and college. We then had our son, 7 years later. Finally, in 2018, we got married! My family comes first, before anything else. As long as I have them, my life will always be sound.

Music

I'm a self-taught guitarist and audio engineer. I've been playing guitar for 20 years, ever since the age of 12. I first started playing the bass, but felt I wanted more, so my parents bought me a guitar, and I never put it down again.

Programmer

My journey of programming began with PowerShell; it helped grasp the fundamentals and logic that goes into a programming language. I started building scripts that would help with my day-to-day tasks: unlock an AD account here, generate a new log there, etc. I took a basic web-development class in college, so I began taking that up again, along with Javascript for logic and backend development. I started out basic, with a small email signup webapp, which then rolled over to this personal site, which is my second rendition of it. The only thing extra is that I am using Python for my backend development and Flask for the framework, and Jinja for templating. I learned python as a way to diversify my knowledge in programming, and it soon became my favorite language.

Gamer

I love playing video games; outside of family and music, video games gives me a release from stress. I remember we had super NES console when I was a child, my favorite games to play on there were Street Fighter II, Mortal Kombat , and some baseball game. Then, we got a playstation. I would spend hours playing spyro, trying to find all the dragons, and then getting down on some Tekken. Yoshimitsu, of course, was my favorite character. As I got older, I strayed a bit from playing, then I built my first gaming PC and discovered all kinds of games. I like to mainly play indie games like The Forest, and simulator games. I also like to get competitive and play Battlefield, BF3 being the best, in my opinion. My kids also like to play video games, as well, so I play Fortnite with my son who's the best player of all time, of course. Then Roblox with both kids. They're major nerds like I am, and it's one of things I love most about them.
