Hello.
I’m Michael.
I work as an IT manager in Washington, D.C. where I lead a team responsible for hundreds of endpoints. I earned my B.S. in Cybersecurity while working as a stay-at-home dad for my first son.
At home I enjoy playing with my two boys, reading, personal finance, Magic: The Gathering, and dreaming about space.

Things I think about:
A.I. and other advanced technologies really pique my interest, and I spend an inordinate amount of time talking with ChatGPT and coming up with unique prompts. Some of the more interesting topics we’ve discussed include:
- deep space communications & navigation
- potential dangers & benefits of A.I.
- crunching the numbers for help comparing a lease & purchase for my new car
Sustainable energy and water supply/purification also consume much of my daydreams. I believe the United States should greatly increase our nuclear power generation capabilities and also seriously invest in water desalination, purification, and transportation infrastructure.
I like good causes.
Here are some of my favorites:
