About the NJ TexPatriate

Hey, my name is Ty. I moved out here to NJ just a bit after hurricane Sandy, in 2013. All the big stuff had been cleaned up, but there was still plenty of future firewood laying around. I came out to get a new lease on life, and be with a gal I met online who was Jersey born and bred- and who I wanted to take a shot with, and who was taking a chance on me.

We’re married now- have been for six years- and we’ve now started a small farm together with our in laws, where we host retirement horses and she does her costuming and seamstress work on the side. I am eternally amazed by her talents.

Since moving out here I’ve done quite a bit of different stuff, but I’ve settled on cybersecurity on the vendor side, and on farming. My goal is to over time marry these two loves into working on our food and water infrastructure security, and hardening that against future cyber warfare attempts to compromise those systems. Sounds like fun, don’t it?

If you like cybersecurity, farming, Texas, or NJ, there ought to be something here for you.
