ABOUT Me
Greetings! I’m just a guy who likes things and stuff. I’m a I.T. professional by day, and photographer/ digital artist when the planets align for it.
I’m currently avoiding the outside as much as possible due to the pandemic. Spending time with my love, Jacqueline, and our small army of pets (3 dogs, 2 cats, and a tortoise).
Hey, Look! Friends!
A pirate friend, who’s got a very impressive ‘stache.
Who’s responsible for this?
While there are many people to blame for my existence and the state it’s in, I think I’d have to point to these people who had the most influence in my life.
Holley Boyer
My Mother
An unending source of of joy and laughter.
My mother is one of the most kind and empathetic people I know. Quick to see the positive in anyone, and even quicker to laugh.
Kent Bubbenmoyer & Anna Turdo
My Father & his Wife
Dedicated, thoughtful, dependable.
My Dad is an audio engineer with too many credits and achievements to even begin to list here. He’s also an excellent woodworker.
Phyllis LaFollette
My Grandmother
Strong, Independant, extreme workaholic.
She is the best baker I’ve ever known, and I think you can tell I’ve had my share of cake.
Interests

No, really they’re uh… Team based conflict resolution exercises that provides necessary experience to promote character and skill growth… Right?

Clue
The Crossmen Drum & Bugle Corps is a participating member of Drum Corps International (DCI). A drum and bugle corps is a musical marching unit consisting of instrumentalists playing brass and percussion instruments, and a choreographed color guard. The corps tours the country performing in competitions across North America. If you are unfamiliar with the activity, it is really worth the effort of finding a local performance. There is nothing else quite like a live drum corps show.
The Crossmen Drum & Bugle Corps was a large part of my Young Adult life.
Performing with the Crossmen Drum & Bugle Corps for 4 years was one of the best experiences of my young adult life. I met so many wonderful and talented people, toured the country, and performed to audiences big and small.
