Hi, I'm Austin. I'm computer nerd living in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I love the snow, hunting, fishing hiking and all the other great outdoors things we get blessed with up here. I'm currently working remotely as a Senior Site Reliability Engineer at John Deere.

I'm an Afghanistan vet. My co-workers always seem to get a kick out of me pulling a chinook at Bagram Airfield with a John Deere.

How long have I been working with computers? Well my earliest memories are with my first computer it was a Commodore PC 10, basically a IBM 5160 clone. Of all the things I miss about the old computers CGA graphics isn't one of them. Here's a picture with it probably using Print Shop to create a banner in the late 80's.
