Technology and communications built to work together.

Screen printing has been my playground for over 15 years. Growing up in 80s Marvel tees - thanks to my mother’s licensed production work - and later inspired by brands like Freshjive, I learned that what you wear can be as impactful as the work you do - or as necessary as the ideas you need to get off your chest.

Taking a concept to a wearable garment demands patience, skill, and more emulsion than most would believe. In 2008, I co-launched ledouche* clothing - a planned misstep that raised eyebrows, earned awards in the form of cease-and-desist letters, and even caught Korean media attention.

Today, I focus on personal projects, limited runs, and summer beginner classes with a six-color, two-station press, a 36’’ exposure unit, heat press, and drying oven.

Tees and other items for the IT services and MSP industries have led to creating tees celebrating MSPGeek’s 10-year anniversary, visualizing Ethernet in ways IT pros wear with pride, and turning playful brand parodies into IT culture nods.

Screen printing isn’t just shirts - it’s a laboratory for patience, layering, and translating abstract ideas into tangible results. The lessons here bubble into every project I touch, from branding to product design.

Looking to produce a limited run of shirts for a special event? Drop me a line.

I’ve been fascinated by electronics since childhood. Early experiments - some with forks, thankfully without lasting damage - led me to Radio Shack and a lifelong passion for building, improving, and understanding how things work.

Keyboards are my specialty. I design custom boards to help with repetitive stress injuries, fatigue, and other typing challenges. Each board blends ergonomics, technical precision, and personal flair, transforming a tool into something people enjoy using every day.

Beyond keyboards, I work with microcontrollers - building environmental sensors, integrating components into home automation, and experimenting on whatever problem sparks my curiosity. Raspberry Pis, ESP32s, and other boards litter my workspace—even a Dutch Butter Cookie tin full of them - and every project is a chance to learn, iterate, and solve problems hands-on.

Small electronics is more than tinkering; it’s patience, iteration, and translating abstract ideas into tangible solutions. It’s meditative, practical, and deeply connected to the way I approach every project - technical or creative, simple or complex.

Sharing this process is part of the fun. Teaching, collaborating on IoT projects, and helping others build their own solutions means the best ideas emerge when curiosity is shared.

I won a feeder goldfish at a carnival in 1988 that lived for over six years. A decade later, I started a 55gal freshwater aquarium and it's still running a quarter century later.

Creating closed environments that allow organisms to thrive is a rewarding experience. It’s an exercise in patience, demonstration that keen observation and minor adjustment can lead to great results, and is just beautiful to look at.

Oh, and there’s the Shrimp Gang over at the SHRIMPHAUS. You should check them out when you're done here.

I also spend time working on deep water culture hydroponics projects and even ran a hydroponics cabinet at Valiant Technology that led to a big staff lunch including a salad that was grown under my desk. Did I invent the Desk Salad?! Probably not, but it was fun.

My homelab is where theory meets voltage.

What started as a curiosity about servers and networking evolved into a controlled environment for testing, breaking, rebuilding, and understanding systems at a deeper level. Virtualization stacks, segmented networks, backup strategies, identity services, monitoring, automation - if I recommend it, there’s a good chance I’ve run it myself.

This isn’t a rack for aesthetics. It’s a proving ground.

I also document what I build. Notes, diagrams, written walkthroughs, and video - capturing both the wins and the lessons learned. Sharing the process reinforces clarity, sharpens thinking, and gives others a practical look at how systems actually come together.

It also keeps me honest.

Running services at home reinforces the realities of uptime, redundancy, documentation, and failure. Hardware fails. Configurations drift. Updates break things. The difference between theory and practice lives here - and that perspective carries directly into the work I do with IT organizations.

Like screen printing, electronics, and aquatics, the homelab is iterative. Small changes. Careful observation. Continuous improvement.

Just with more VLANs.
