Who is this Guy?

Welcome. My name is Guy and, yes, that's my real name. I'm a husband and father of three, a seasoned software developer, a public speaker, and a hard-boiled geek interested in more things than I have time for. I share many of those things right here on this website.

The Guy Wire

This is my blog. Mostly I write about software development and tech topics, but sometimes I'll write about other nerdy topics like ham radio and RPGs—think Dungeons & Dragons not The Legend of Zelda. On rare occasions, I may wax poetic about life, the universe, and everything.

Renaissance Guy

I've been an avid gamer for decades, playing my first game of Dungeons & Dragons sometime in the early 80s. I enjoy all sorts of RPGs—not just D&D. Usually, I'm the gamemaster and I like making scenery to run my games. I share my play materials here and post videos occasionally.

W8GUY

I'm an amateur radio operator who managed to snag the vanity call sign of W8GUY. Ham radio is a fairly new hobby to me and I'm constantly learning and tweaking. There's plenty to learn and tweak. I share what I've learned here and post the occasional video.
