Hi. I'm a little apprehensive to post an #introduction as it's hard to define a person in a few paragraphs.

I'm Dennis. My pronouns are he/him. I am an LGBTQ+ ally🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️. My last name is pronounced like the French verb "foʊʃeɪ". My Father's family is from Quebec and came over from France in the 1600s. I live in Massachusetts and grew up in Connecticut.

I'm married and have three adult children who live in Canada and Scotland. We have lots of pets including one dog, three cats, and five chickens. The chickens surprised me with how much personality they have. My lovely wife is a jeweler, so if you need help with that art LMK.

For hobbies, I love photography, kayaking/canoeing, hiking, and of course poking at technology stuff in my home lab including virtualization, containers, robots, ML, DL. I was a Boy Scout Assistant Scout Master for six years. That was a hoot.

At work, I am in pre-sales. Those are the folks that are supposed to know every random corner of IT enough to not look like a deer in the headlights when a customer says "Can you help me design and implement a transmogrifier?" I love the company I work for. The culture and people are amazing. Really.

Mentorship is important to me and during any given week I am volunteering my time mentoring others.

Feel free to say hi and/or DM me about anything that I might be able to help with.
