About

My world revolves around the server hosting industry, where technology and real-world application meet. With a deep background in computer information technology and IT networking, I’ve built my career on a genuine passion for data centers, server infrastructure, and the internet itself — not just as a business, but as an engineering pursuit.

I co-founded RackGenius to bring enterprise-grade hosting to everyone: dedicated servers, VPS, game hosting, and web hosting powered by premium hardware and a network I built and operate myself. My expertise spans system administration, computer hardware, and network engineering, but what drives me most is the craft of building reliable, high-performance infrastructure from the ground up.

Networking

Networking isn’t just part of my job — it’s one of my deepest technical passions. I founded and operate AS32002, the RackGenius autonomous system, which gives me direct control over how traffic flows across the internet. From building BGP sessions and maintaining RPKI-valid route announcements to peering at Michigan’s internet exchanges, I’m hands-on with every layer of the network stack.
