+                        I'm an aspiring Network/Systems Administrator and love GNU/Linux. Technology has always been
+                        a big part of my life every since I was a kid.
+                    </p>
+                    <p>
+                        I've maintained my personal website online for more than a decade since I first bought the
+                        domain bensanders.me in 2010. I used to to use WordPress but found Jekyll and loved the idea
+                        of static websites.
