Welcome!



About Me

My name is Jackson Lawrence, I am a 23 year old IT professional, and I am always looking to gain experience and expand my knowledge. I attended Western Kentucky University from 2020 to 2024 and graduated with honors, completing a Bachelor's in Computer Information Technology. I currently work for World Class Distribution, Inc., a subsidiary of Trader Joe's, as an IT technician. In my free time I enjoy playing guitar, bass, drums, and tinkering with my homelab servers.
