General Info

I am the EPEL team lead in the Community Platform Engineering (CPE) group at Red Hat.

I was first exposed to the command line while attending a Solaris class in the U.S. Army in 2004. I didn't get to work with it as much as I would have liked, but my fondness of the command line stuck. I started using Ubuntu in 2009, and before long was a full-fledged distro-hopper. After I left the Army in 2011, I got a job as a systems administrator at Rackspace. In 2014 I switched to a team doing RPM packaging and maintaining the IUS repository. This is about the time I started consistently using Fedora as my main OS and contributing back to Fedora and EPEL. In 2019 I joined the CentOS team at Red Hat. In 2022 I started a new team at Red Hat to specifically focus on EPEL activities. On this team I've lead the implementation of EPEL Next, EPEL 9, and am currently working on EPEL 10.
