Life long science geek, trivia weirdo, music lover, sodering gun-for-hire. Started gaming in the 80s with an Atari 2600 and haven't stopped since. Did a couple of tours in the Army as an intelligence analyst. Have worked as a software developer, RF Engineer, carpenter, and phlebotomist (to name a few jobs). Started drumming in 2009 and got hooked. Currently I play Pro Expert Drums in Rock Band 4 on an Alesis Nitro Mesh kit. Thanks for reading. As always: Stay safe. Be kind. Love you guys.
