BioHi all! My name is Thomas, and I hail from the city if Waukesha, Wisconsin. We have tons of light pollution, a strong industrial base, a gorgeous downtown with the most twisted street layouts I've ever seen, and awesome people! There's a lot more here, but it would be difficult to list.
I keep busy with work as a Tech Support Engineer / Network Administrator at a software development company in Oconomowoc, WI. In December 2008 I graduated from MATC with an Associates Degree in Information Systems Security. I have found few ways to apply that to my job. My co-workers and boss are pretty amazing, so I'm sticking around here to develop my skills further. I am also taking a course in programming this semester at UW-Waukesha to see if I like it enough to to take it on full-force. If I do well, I will most likely transition from tech support to programming in my current job, which would be fantastic. I love local theater and music, but sadly those have taken a back seat to my education at this point. Even my weekly classical guitar lessons have had to be foregone so that I can make class three nights a week along with full time work.
My weekends are primarily spent with my amazing girlfriend, Mandy, who I met at the Bristol Renaissance Faire - an event which introduced me to a whole new world, a new set of friends, and to her. Her unique sense of humor, her smiling eyes, and the way we drive each other to improve ourselves are the biggest reasons why I'm crazy about her. The fact that we have great chemistry doesn't hurt either. As of February, we have been together 1 year, 5 months. We split weekends between Wisconsin and Chicago, now that she can get up to the area more often. That may change when she picks up a new job after being laid off for some time.
I love to organize my spaces, and I prefer to keep my physical possessions to a minimum. I am extremely detail oriented, although this sometimes backfires on me. I'm still growing and changing - a lot.
In October 2008 I moved from home to a 2BR/2BA apartment in Waukesha with my friends Molly and Al. It's been a bit of a wild experience, and it's certainly had its ups and downs. I opted against moving to Chicago as I had planned because I didn't want to leave my friends and family behind - the lack of entry-level infosec jobs in Chicago didn't hurt that either. I still keep an eye on requirements for information security positions to see what I can do to transition over there if I wanted to. I'm planning on moving somewhere from April to June, either to a new apartment or purchasing a house. The latter is still in the information-gathering stage, so we'll see where that goes.
And that's all for now.
