about me

My name is Anthony Ryan Mattke, but everyone calls me Tony. I’m a 29 year old geek and network engineer. I switched to Mac in 2008 and I’ve never been happier with the choice.

In 2008 I started my own consulting company, BGP Guru, doing consulting work for a few ISPs and Data Centers around the US and Canada.

Even so I switched to Mac, I’m still a Linux advocate. I’ve been using it since 1993 when I first installed Slackware. Currently my web server, file server and router all run Linux based operating systems just to name a few. ( Debian on the servers, ImageStream Enterprise Linux on the router )

Some of my other hobbies include bad photography, biking, saving babies from fires, bowling, r/c helicopters, finding new varieties of wheat beer, video gaming, and keeping freshwater cichlids. ( I sold my tank.. )
