-            Angelshark saved money (dial plan tool, password rotator, termed

+            Manager automation daemon, to ease friction caused by existing,
+            interactive, and fragile tools and processes. This tool was used to
+            save the company tens of thousands of dollars per year by enabling
+            unused license cleanup with little operator input. It was deemed
+            appropriately useful to release as free and open source software. It

     <h2>About Me</h2>
 
-    <p>...</p>
+    <p>
+      I wrote my first program on a TI-84 in BASIC to help finish my high school
+      math homework faster. I quickly transitioned to building more complicated
+      programs but have continued to enjoy finding the smallest amount of code
+      to solve a problem quickly, correctly, and securely.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+      I grew up in and still call Hampton Roads, Virginia my home. In my spare
+      time I drive and maintain a classic car, a 1953 Hudson Hornet. I enjoy
+      travelling and being at home with my wife and cocker spaniel. I also
+      self-host a web server in a closet in my home.
