I'm a Christ follower, a husband to my beautiful wife Christina, a father, and man who loves to learn. My plan is to help improve the Gentoo domains around the web by adding and improving documentation, aiding in website maintenance, and executing system administration. I am passionate about creating and sustaining a strong developer culture within Gentoo. As I continue learning about Gentoo it only makes sense to help make it better for everyone by helping others find their way.
My personal gratitude is owed to all past and present Gentoo developers who collectively commit thousands of hours each month into making Gentoo the most flexible and powerful software distribution ever created!
Let's make Gentoo better together!

Hardware wishlist
Embedded
- Orange Pi 5 - It's exciting to see that device tree support may make it into the mainline kernel; collabora has a matrix for mainlining the RockChip RK3588. If that happens, I'm probably going to get one to reward the upstreaming effort!
- Raspberry Pi 5 - VideoCore VII?!?
My software
- gencache - Like aptcacher, but for Gentoo.
- trickle - Coming soon.
- readmuh - Quickly generate a readme.md file for an ebuild repository.
- big brother - Inspect developer status to ensure policy and standards are being enforced... aka "slacker reports".
Artwork
- Artwork - Some very basic artwork.
Contact me
Those that have some reason to contact me can do so most effectively with real time chat via:
- Freenode's secure webchat client in the #gentoo-wiki (webchat) channel. Be sure to highlight with my nickname in the message so I'll see it!
- Official Gentoo Telegram channel.
Alternatively use the email link provided in the developer information box, although your email may be missed and there will be a slow reply if I do see it. I'm typically much more available via instant message.
