Father of 5, busy most of the time, but will always find time for a friend. Love singing, playing the guitar, and walking. Also love all things related to time and time travel.

Started coding games from an early age, later love to keep up to date with technology. For many years working with data and different databases and languages, programming and making myself useful is something I love to do. Automation is a must since there's too much to do and not much time to achieve it all, I try to make the world better.
