Homebrewing: I keep things simple at home with all-grain brewing using the Brew in a Bag (BIAB) method. My main focus is just crafting straightforward batches, with a particular fondness for hazy IPAs and experimenting with different hop profiles.

Theology: I am seminary educated and have a deep appreciation for textual study and historical analysis, but I always prefer to keep the focus grounded in practical, real-world application.

Radio DXing & Signals: Passionate about chasing distant signals, I engage in logging AM, FM, and TV signals, capturing TV identification screengrabs, and monitoring weather frequencies.

Cellular Infrastructure & Mapping: I track RF deployments and network topology in my spare time. I actively contribute data to collaborative mapping projects like CellMapper to help ensure accurate sector tracking and site validation.

Computing Philosophy: My daily environment runs on Linux. This professional pivot was driven by a fundamental dissatisfaction with the intrusive, locked-down direction that modern Microsoft and Apple operating systems have taken. I prefer maintaining an independent, stable, and private desktop.

Web Infrastructure & Development: Managing personal hosting environments, WordPress deployments, and Linux-based servers, I keep this as a personal interest, except where needed in my day job.
