Since opening this website in December of 2025, a few people have asked how they can support the work I share here. That question has come up more often recently, so I wanted to address it simply and transparently.
Everything in this knowledge base is shared freely. That will not change. My goal has always been to give back what I’ve learned across decades in IT, leadership, and career growth, without turning this into gated content or constant monetization prompts.
That said, if something I’ve written has genuinely helped you and you feel inclined to support the work, I do accept voluntary contributions. There is no obligation and no expectation. Think of it as a quiet thank you, not a transaction.
For now, the easiest way to reach me is through LinkedIn. A direct message there is the best starting point. I can share PayPal details privately, and for those who prefer it, I also maintain an Amazon wishlist that I’m still building and refining. If that’s something you’re interested in, just ask via DM.
Support like this helps offset hosting, tooling, and time, and more importantly, it allows me to keep this space independent and free of noise. Also, the most important part is that it will help the non profit foundation provide underprivileged youth access to education and resources to be part of our industry. Many kids in just my local schools do not even have a modern smart phone let alone a computer. It is my goal to help them starting with one child and then a school, then one day an entire state! Then, the entire country! Just me, being real there, just it will take time and hopefully sponsors will be part of this too. One step at a time. It took me time to build this with generous help from mentees and friends!
Either way, whether you contribute or simply read and learn, I appreciate you being here. If even a few people benefit from this knowledge base, then it’s doing what it was meant to do.
Mahalo and stay hungry for knowledge my friends.
