Family Time

Luckily, my family is also a bunch of nerds (but don’t tell my wife I said that). We are fans of Marvel, Harry Potter, and Jurassic Park universes and going to the Star Wars premiers is our newest family tradition.¹ We also like gaming together. We absolutely love escape rooms and play board games like Catan, Drizit, Cranium, Ascension, and are slowing trying D&D primarily due to Terry Crews and Critical Role. We also enjoy cooperative video games with our favorites being Earth Defense Force, Gears of War, Minecraft, and ROBOLOX. Outside, we like biking, hiking, camping, and indoor rock climbing (really pretending to be ninja warriors) as well as visiting amusement parks (we went to six Six Flags last year!) and zoos / aquariums.

Serving God

My faith has had a significant impact in my life and my service of my country. My handle (archang31) comes from being raised in a Catholic household and symbolizes my conviction to being both a protector and leader.² Recently, I felt challenged to invest more of my time and talent into the church so I started volunteering within the production team at The Rock of KC. It’s amazing how much technology is used in a modern church. The production team requires four people, five workstations, and several servers to run everything from the lights and soundboard during worship to the media and slides during the gospel to even the mixing of the video output that is broadcasted throughout the building. Even with this church’s robust and established technology support system, they still have problems with their wireless network security, file sharing system, and website - areas where I can help. I don’t want to write any more here, but I hope to do more (maybe create a non-profit?) to help faith-based organizations establish and maintain secure technology systems.
