Software Engineer

I started my journey as a Software Engineer in 2005, coding my own video games in Flash and Visual Basic. 15 years, over 100 clients, and dozens of custom applications have built my diverse skill set that I hone by contributing to every aspect of software development; sales, project management, software architecture, database design, I've done it all. I'm a jack-of-all-trades who enjoys database design and server-side programming most of all.

The only way to go fast, is to go well.

Mentor

I have always found immense joy in mentoring others. My passion for teaching began when I took on the role of a Teacher's Assistant in my high school's programming class. That eventually led me to pursue teaching two full-stack bootcamp cohorts, and I continue to bring that same enthusiasm for educating as I guide developers through their journeys.

You have to be confident in yourself and your own ability, before you are willing to help another.

Hobbyist

I love learning new things — at any point in time you'll find me deep in the midst of at least one new hobby. Brewing beer, painting, model making, woodworking, and astronomy are just a few I've tackled. I'm captivated by pulling the curtain back on a community unfamiliar to me, learning their methodologies and making something new.

Recently I've been delving into photography.

The broadness of my interests gives me an excellent perspective to do what I do, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
