Online since 2008

I build and run hosting infrastructure.

I'm a systems administrator with 10+ years in IT infrastructure, network security and server management across hosting and bare-metal providers. I work in technical operations at Rackdog, and I've run my own hosting company, ColorHost, since 2009.
