About Me

Former Army officer with a logistics background, changing careers into IT

I am a former Army logistics officer changing careers into IT, and I am looking for IT support work in the Rapid City / Black Hills area.

I enjoy anything and everything that broadens my skill set and knowledge base in the world of IT. Home lab projects, developing my proficiency in the Microsoft ecosystem (including Entra join, Autopilot and Intune endpoint management), working with Linux and Proxmox (Ubuntu, Ubuntu Server, Proxmox VE), scripting basics – I simply can’t get enough of it.

I created this site to serve as my living, breathing portfolio and personal repository. I post documentation about my home lab projects, store runbooks and field manuals, and keep the scripts I find useful along the way.

Where I work

Certifications

I hold the AB-900 - Copilot and Agent Administration Fundamentals Certification, AZ-900 - Azure Fundamentals Certification, and the Google IT Support Professional Certificate. I am currently working toward the CompTIA A+ certification (both Cores), which I expect to sit this fall.

Every certification on the certifications page links to the public verification record.

What you will find here

  • Reference Library – the documentation I’m building as I go along: the IT Field Manual, build playbooks, and a growing set of published scripts
  • Projects – full write-ups of what I have built, including what went wrong and how I fixed it.
  • Certifications – with verification links
  • Posts – shorter notes and runbooks as I go
