Biography
I like to read, and I really love to write. I'm a huge fan of tech, currently of the Apple, Google, Microsoft trifecta, and social media platforms like Facebook and Snap.
When I'm not writing about tech for the internet, I'm probably reading mystery novels, fantasy comics, or working out because my body is probably some kind of temple.
