About Me

I am a husband, father (to be), follower of Christ, and hard worker. I'm always up for a challenge and ready to share a laugh. For anyone in Fort Collins, CO I would recommend you go check out the pizza rolls from Mama Roni's, they are the best food!

After graduating in May of 2024 from Dakota State University, I married the love of my life, Abby Morganti. Together we live in Shakopee, MN and are expecting our first little baby boy later this year.

For fun, I love to play tennis, win board/cards games, go hiking, and watch TV with Abby. I am a huge Lord of the Rings fan and love to read the comic strip Strange Planet by Nathan W. Pyle. You can often see me wearing a t-shirt depicting the blue beings.

I have spent many years in the IT field, earning a Masters in Computer Science from Dakota State University, as well as a Bachelors in Cyber Operations and Mathematics with an emphasis in Cryptography. I currently works as a IT Security Engineer for DigiKey, and in my off time, work on my own home lab setup learning even more about how servers communicate and work. Abby often times will hear various emotions coming from my office depending on how the server is acting that particular moment.
