ABOUT ME

My name is Charles Bricker, and I graduated college in 2021 with two degrees in Information Technology.

I have held jobs in technical fields my whole life, which you can see in my experience section. I love to get my hands dirty with all things technology from Ham Radio to Networking to Homelabbing.
