I have been involved in the Android scene ever since getting the original G1 on launch day. Since then, I've owned a number of phones and tablets, most of them ending up with a custom ROM sooner or later. When I'm not working with tech stuff, I enjoy home improvement projects, working outdoors and going to Disney World. I live with my wife and two children in sunny Orlando, Florida.
