Author
I’m an avid writer and reader. Many people have asked me how I have time to write with my busy schedule, I could ask them the same thing about what they do to relax. Writing is my way of decompressing and getting things out of my head. I normally write something for about an hour every morning, sometimes it just my dreams, sometimes its my task list and sometimes its just random thoughts that become blog posts, articles or even books. In addition to this blog, I have written both technical and fiction books.
