Hobbies & Interests

Server Administration and Web Hosting

I’m a self-taught enthusiast, always eager to tackle intricate challenges and fine-tune server configurations. I delight in managing a diverse array of servers, from DNS and DHCP to email and MySQL. My expertise extends to self-hosted Docker containers, each serving a unique purpose, from smart home automation to wikis, data storage, and more.

Outdoor Activites

Minnesota's summers are my paradise, and I make the most of the heat with a lineup of thrilling outdoor activities. Whether it's the tranquility of lake time, the adrenaline rush of wakeboarding and waterskiing, or the serene balance of paddle boarding, I relish every moment in the water. On land, I enjoy scootering alongside my puppy, cycling through scenic routes, or gliding on rollerblades. And when the sun sets, there's nothing like gathering around a fire, cherishing the simple joys of life.

Gaming (Xbox)

Gaming is my ultimate adventure, from the exhilarating skies of ‘Microsoft Flight Simulator’ to the high-octane action of ‘Call of Duty,’ I’m a player of all genres.

Motorcycling

Embracing the exhilarating world of motorcycling, my newest and most cherished hobby. Although I've been riding for just a few years, my passion recently led me to acquire a new bike, and in one unforgettable summer, I roared through over 7,000 miles of thrilling adventures with friends, exploring scenic routes and forging unforgettable memories.

Quality Time with Loved Ones

Whether it's the boundless affection of my puppy, the warmth of family, or the shared laughter and moments with my boyfriend, these connections are the threads that weave my life. It's in these moments that I find my joy and fulfillment, nurturing relationships that bring love and happiness to my world.
