__About me__

I currently live in Northern Virginia and work in the DC area. I take great pride in updating/maintaining memorials of veterans both to honor their service and preserve their legacies. If you have similar interests and live nearby, I'd be interested in chatting over a cup of coffee.

My email is not listed above to avoid bot spam reasons, but feel free to reach out to me by leaving a message here or sending to my first name [dot] my last name [dot] at gmail.
