I live at the intersection
of a few things that don't
obviously go together —
and I've stopped trying
to make them.

I'm the CIO of an MSP that just turned three years old. It's a young company with real momentum, and my job is the constant juggle — keeping existing technology running, staying ahead of what's next, and making sure every person on my team has what they need at their fingertips to do good work.

I like that challenge. I'm built for it.

I'm a singer. I perform backup for the Sherna Armstrong Band, a working group with regular gigs around the area including the Hard Rock Casino Tejon.

I'm also half of SASS — Sherna and Shayla Sing — a duo I do with my mother. We play The Vault regularly and we've taken the stage at Hard Rock Tejon.

Music stopped being something I do and became something I am a long time ago.

I'm also learning bass. Slowly. There is an actual bass involved.

I run a YouTube live channel, @mspbackline, where I do something called The Night Shift — I work my actual night shift, live, and answer questions when they come in. No production, no performance. Just the work and whoever shows up.

I'm building out a demo environment I plan to construct on stream.

I run a home lab. I'm into networking and infrastructure. I've been learning DaVinci Resolve and plan to keep going with it.

I like building things that work and understanding why they do.

I read constantly — books, audiobooks, whatever I can get through. Politically I'm progressive, democratic socialist-leaning, with the occasional centrist reflex I'm still interrogating.

I've been to every No Kings march. I performed at one with a friend's band.

I used to play roller derby.

This site doesn't have a theme or a schedule. It's just a place that reflects what I'm doing, thinking, and building — right now, and whenever right now changes.
