About Me

Charles Hood hiking in Arizona

Hey there! šŸ‘‹ I’m a tech enthusiast in my 50s, living in either ā€œAtlantaā€ or Canton, GA — depending on who’s asking. My passions include tech, live music, and exploring new places through travel.

Tech Treks šŸ’»

As a tech enthusiast, I love diving into the latest gadgets, coding projects, and exploring the ever-evolving tech landscape. From tinkering with new software to embracing the latest tech trends, I’m always game for whatever comes next.

Live Music šŸŽµ

Small venues, big passion. There’s something truly magical about experiencing music in a space where the energy is palpable and the connection between artists and audience is undeniable. That’s where I thrive.

Supporting local artists is a priority for me. I’m convinced that some of the most talented musicians are right here in our communities, and I’m committed to championing their voices. While I’m down for all kinds of musical genres, there’s something about Americana and singer/songwriter vibes that just speak to my soul. It’s like they have a backstage pass to my feels.

Nomadic Quests šŸ›©ļø

Travel is another passion of mine. Exploring new places, meeting interesting people, and immersing myself in the beauty of different landscapes—these adventures fuel my curiosity.
