I was born and raised in Pittsburgh before moving to Chicago 12 years ago.

If I'm not out bicycling, I like to watch hockey (go Penguins!), dive deep into the New York Times crossword puzzle archive, or play tennis with my wife.

I am originally from Bulgaria and moved to the United States in 1996. Here, I've lived in New York, Pennsylvania and California.

I moved to Georgia in 1999. I love the south, the heath, the humidity, the trees, the sound of cicadas in the summer. I've been working in IT my whole life, and specialize in remote management and monitoring.

In my free time I try to keep my 4 year old son out of trouble, I also like working on DIY projects around the house.

I have lived in the suburbs of Chicago all my life.

I started using computers when I was four years old to play video games with my dad and my brother. Since then, I have been learning all there is to know about technology, and I enjoy helping others learn about it too.

In my free time, I enjoy playing PC games at the Esports level, playing guitar, and enjoying good food with my family.
