About Me

Stop the world, I want off. I want out of the rat race. I'm slowly making my exit but my commute to and from work is nearly an hour. I suppose it's worth it. At the end of the day, I'm where I want to be.

Somehow, I ended up with a beautiful wife. We don't have any kids, but we have two dogs. They don't know they're dogs. Please don't tell them, they would be heartbroken.

I have a computer consulting company called Crystal Networking . I serve small businesses in Central Ohio who can not afford a full time IT staff. I also serve residential customers who need help with their computers.

My Interests

If only I could pick one hobby... Radios, trucks, computers, guns... All are entirely too expensive, but maybe that's part of the appeal. I'll never outgrow toys and they just seem to get bigger. Fishing and camping... I can never seem to make enough time to escape, but I take any chance I can get.

I'd like to meet:

More friends!

Television:

"If they don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy." -Red Green

How true, how true.

Books:

Anything by Pat McManus. It is far from classic literature, but it all hits so close to home.

My Blog

It's almost 11:00 on the 4th of July and I haven't seen a single firework. I guess it just wasn't meant to be for me this year. -M
