I believe most people miss opportunities because it’s dressed in overalls and looks like work.
Who is Shane Kinsch?
Going back to the mid-1990’s I wrote a bit of software for myself that would Identify, Track, Monitor, and attempt to Bulk Register domain names when they became available. At the time, I was personally just one of a few in the United States that had access to the .COM, .NET, and .ORG databases. Using my registration software, an ISDN connection, and a Sun SPARC 20, I started picking up a lot of domains. Today, I hold numerous generic domains and a couple of thousand .COM domains.
I’m a serial entrepreneur at heart, a self-proclaimed Technology Evangelist, and specialize in the rapid development and deployment of Internet properties such as establishing and overseeing the operation of Nevada’s Internet sTLD Registry (nv.com), an ICANN Accredited Registrar (gi.net) and a full-service Internet Marketing & Digital PR company in Kansas City both from a business and technical administration perspective.
My technical experience in Internet Security Architecture, Threat Assessment, the Domain Name Industry, Enterprise Infrastructure, Digital Media, and overall business gives me a unique insight into the organizations that I work with.
I consider myself passionate about technology with partnerships focused on technology startups and technology R&D in the Midwest of the United States. Expect a hard-driving passionate leader bringing repeated success through streamlined and effective business by realizing real tangible milestones along with creative and innovative solutions to problems. My passion is to help enable others through technology evangelism.

How it all begain
Since you’re still reading this, here’s a very short summary of how it all started… when I was about 12 years old, my parents bought me a Commodore 64 with a 1541 5 1/4″ disk drive. From there, I mowed more lawns to pay for my computer habit. Within a year or two I bought hundreds of floppies, a 300 baud MightyMo Modem, started calling 800 numbers, met some fun people in Minnesota (rabbit ears), and grew into running my own BBS called DragonFire. I ran the BBS on software called “Color 64″ (specifically with a 1764 RAM expander +256k) and (2) 1581 3 1/4” 720k floppy drives. The BBS started off using a 1200 baud Hayes modem which was tolerable at the time, but like everything else, upgraded to a 2400 baud modem, then 9600. Fun times… that’s also about the time I started to dive into this “UNIX” stuff. Specifically, AT&T System V, Solaris, and BSD. For the past 25+ years been a UNIX/Linux guy (all flavors) with a concentration on System and Network Security, Automation, Containerization, and anything Open Source.
I like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Vine, Google+, etc.. but this is the only place I can call my own. I control the domain, the hosting, and everything here. Be sure to read my DCMA disclaimer if you think I have anything here that’s your content because mostly this is a resource for just me and I don’t have time to cite everything I post, so if there’s any content here that you “own” like images or content, then fill out the form and I’ll check into it. :)
