Hi 👋, I’m Mike, a husband and dad who with close to 6 decades on this big blue marble is still just trying to figure it out.

My wife, children and I are lucky enough to live in colorful Colorado. Our family is so grateful to have an opportunity to live in such a beautiful part of the world.

At home I enjoy tinkering in my homelab, and cosplaying as a sysadmin. I keep myself entertained by learning new programming languages and exploring different development styles.

If I’m not messing around on my computer, I will most likely be in the kitchen, brewing coffee or enjoying learning a new recipe or technique to make something tasty to eat, since eating is one of my top hobbies.

When I’m not being a hermit in our house, I try to get in some skiing each year with my sons. My wife and I often enjoy hiking some of the great trails in our wonderful state.

So far I have lived in 4 different countries and two U.S. states. So what will the next few years bring, should I stay or should I go?
