About

It all started with Minecraft.
What? you may ask, well yes, I say to that. I love playing Minecraft, and that started my career.

I accidentally discovered my calling while playing with my friends. Minecraft is a multi player game that allows you do basically do everything you want.

I learned the penguin, aka Linux. It was rough, but I got the hang of it. Then as I became more intrested, I started to dig deeper, and fell in the rabbit hole.

That's the short story of how I became who I am today.
