What I’m doing now

This is a now page, and if you have your own site, you should make one too.

Updated evening of April 22nd, 2026 from my wood-paneled back den and home office here in Tulsa, OK.

Writing The RHCSA Field Manual

Right now I’m writing a study guide for the Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) exam (EX200):

“The RHCSA Field Manual: A Hands-on Guide to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 and the EX200 Exam” (working title)
Working manuscript

This was a natural evolution of The RHCSA Study Guide that was collated with the help of AI to help me study for the exam. To my complete surprise, this has become a relatively popular resource circulated among the ProLUG Discord community and the RHEL 9 to RHEL 10 update has become my most reposted LinkedIn post. Clearly this struck a chord.

In contrast to the RHCSA study repo, the book content will be written by me the old-fashioned way (typed by hand), rather than being AI generated. I wouldn’t feel good about putting my name on something that wasn’t authored by me and I doubt anybody would want to read an AI-generated textbook anyway.

M. & Mo. Honey Co.

I recently went in on a honey business M. & Mo. Honey Co. with my friend Paul (Codename “Red Beard” because he has a long red beard. Very jealous). He’s the master beekeeper and manages the apiary and develops all of our honey and bee products. The business is mostly his and I have a small stake; I manage some of the business side and keep a few hives here in my yard. This is really his baby.

How did I get into honey you ask?

I think what Paul is doing is really cool and I would talk about it with my friends and just about everybody I met outside of the house. I like to think that my enthusiasm is infectious, but more likely people really love local honey and handcrafted things, and are naturally curious about beekeeping. A natural extension was that people started buying honey through me (I’m his top seller). My barber loves the “lemon” and “hot” creamed honeys. We’re just getting started, but if you’re interested in ordering some, check out our products and reach out with your order.
