Over the years I've been known as Rigger82, ODG6Actual and whatever my military bretheran have called me (hopefully in jest). Veteran of the mighty 82nd Airborne Division, I was a parachute rigger who mainly fought boredom during my time overseas in Desert Shield/Storm.

I am a technologist and perpetually curious about anything and everything. My love of technology got me into games and games have been a gateway for immersive technology and my most recent passion for the Metaverse as a future state of the internet.
