TechColumnist Storage Information Blog

About

I’m really never good at the “about me” type pages. I can tell you a few things, I’m married, live in Long Beach, CA, and work for CBS as a Manager. (I work with the storage systems, yes, another computer guy).

This blog is mainly intended for my random thoughts along with things that I can reference back to in later times.

I’ve been into computers ever since I was a small child and my career has blossomed as I graduated college and went to work for CBS. Since joining CBS in 2005 I’ve advanced from consultant, to Image Creation / Desktop Standards, to Technical Engineer, to Sr. Technical Engineer, to Manager of Infrastructure Engineering. I have had some exciting projects such as the corporate implementation of SMS (Systems Management Server) and get to play with some cool hardware (NetApp, Brocade, 3PAR, etc).

I’ve found myself quite consumed with work so I have little time for hobbies. When I do find myself venturing out I do things like modify electronics so they work better for me (ex: lowering the temp on my kegerator by way of resistor), home improvement (ex: renovating my bathroom, building my home theater, etc), and hanging out with long time friends. Oh, and I have this site (which really is an afterthought most of the time).

I find I’m not too huge of a gamer, however I do like my occasional shoot-em-up game of Halo 3 or Gears of War. I am definitely not into long winded games like WoW. I do watch movies though. Movies have got to be the greatest thing on earth. Also, I’m in to various Showtime series that are available at the moment (Californication, BrotherHood, etc).
