About Me

Hello There

My name is Tom. I have over 15 years of professional experience as an ITSM System Implementation Specialist and have a deep passion for lifelong learning and personal growth. I have taught myself to code through personal study and amazing mentorship, and recently obtained a Degree in IT Management, feeding my continual desire to explore and expand my intellectual horizons. A devoted bibliophile, I collect books at a pace that outstrips my ability to read them, building a library that serves as both inspiration and aspiration. Spending quality time with my wife, two children, and granddaughter is one of my greatest joys. As such, shortly after obtaining my degree, we fulfilled my wife's lifelong dream of opening a coffee house in our small town that we now run as a family. My life's mission is to be able to look back on my life from my deathbed and be satisfied with the way I lived, and so far I am on track to achieving that goal. As my favorite quote goes, "Straight, not Straightened."
