I’m a combat veteran. I have a degree in Cybersecurity/Network Administration and a degree in Computer Programming. I built my first geek gadget, a 3-D printer, by scratch using laser printer parts and plans that I found for the Ultimaker Original, upgrading it along the way. I enjoy the process of engineering things and then making them into reality.

I started with lasers after getting my Z1 as a Christmas gift from my wife. I plan to use it instead of a brand for my woodworking projects, for customizing things, and eventually for making some money on the side. I enjoy helping people and I’m willing to share my designs.
