I have over 14 years of IT experience ranging from systems administration and engineering to technical sales and community advocacy, most recently, as a Technical Marketing Manager at Red Hat. As the IT Guy, I fight against burnout and poor work-life balance. My goal is to promote methodologies and communities around DevOps and open source as well as an endless supply of goofy humor along the way.

I have worked under all the cliched IT cultures—from nightmare on-calls to constant firefighting. I've learned a lot from my experience. I hope to share those stories and the lessons I learned with all of you to help make your lives and your organizations better.
