Who am I? In brief:

At Paradise near the peak of Mt Rainier

Dentist. Science and Technology Enthusiast. Continuously developing occupational and self-taught skills.

I was born in a US Military hospital in the southeast United States, and spent the first 12 or so years of my life being shunted back and forth all over the country and beyond. I went to three different high schools, and don't even remember how many elementary and middle schools. I must have moved about 10 times as a kid. I've lived all over the place... Texas, Georgia, Florida, California, New York, Illinois, Arizona, North Dakota, and the country of Panama. I don't have a "home" state, but I chose to settle in Washington. I love the temperate climate. I love the rain.

I rather dislike social media in general, and do not participate in websites like facebook, twitter etc. I may have a account on your favorite platform, but I created them solely to prevent name squatting and impersonation. If you find a social media accounts under my name and persona making statements about... anything, it is either : An occupational profile required by an employer, or, someone impersonating me.

I've worked in Healthcare, in Tech and on Nuclear Weapons.

My CompTIA™ certifications:

It is a system designed to provide security and uses cryptographic technology to defeat claims that video evidence could be "AI generated", or just manufactured in general.

Workload Generator - A tool I created while working in a US military dental clinic. It was created to improve compliance with clinic and Air Force documentation standards, and well as recommend treatment codes based what services were provided during the encounter.
