About Me

Lol-asg.png 52 / m / 42,-88

I am a Mac geek (former Apple employee (twice)) and current Apple Certified Trainer/Consultant/Technician living near Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

My house is less than two miles South/Southwest from the 43, -88 graticule, but I'm originally from Naperville, IL so the 42, -88 suits me just fine.
