I am a father of four from Indianapolis with a strong interest in practical engineering, hands on problem solving, and community focused learning. My background includes small business management, mechanical repair, and digital project development. I have run service based operations, built and maintained websites, designed products, and handled day to day technical troubleshooting. Most of my experience comes from learning by doing and finding efficient solutions with the resources available.

I want to be part of Open Source Ecology because the mission aligns with what I value. Open tools, shared knowledge, and real world systems that anyone can build or repair. I hope to contribute through testing, documentation, and practical field use of the tools while learning the more advanced concepts behind the project. My long term goal is to pass this knowledge to my children and eventually my grandchildren so they grow up with real skills and an understanding of how essential systems are built.
