Who is on the grid

I'm Jason (he/him). I work in tech, and I tinker with software, websites, and self-hosted services. I'm the admin and operator of the DMV.Community Mastodon instance.

I grew up in Western Maryland, spent about a decade in and around Baltimore, and landed in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley with my wife.

I'm a husband, a proud father of four daughters, and a dog owner. When I'm not tinkering with tech, I make mead, hike, travel, take pictures, read comics and sci-fi, and frequent the Alamo Drafthouse. My favorite video game of all time is Final Fantasy 7. The first thing I think about in the morning is coffee.
