About Me

I love code. I love problem solving. And I love the Web.

That's why I love being a web developer. I've been working with computers and the Web for over a decade, and I have a bachelor's degree in computer science and a professional certificate in web development.

I have years of experience developing websites using cutting-edge technology, working both in teams and alone for a client.

And I have a number of skills (read about my web development expertise). Aside from my ninja status in the web development arena, I can also play the violin and hang a bear bag in the backcountry (but, sorry, I can't stand on my head).

I love getting out and experiencing new things. After college, I joined the Peace Corps, eventually being placed as an Information Communication Technology Volunteer in rural Kenya. In 2011, I backpacked the spine of the Appalachian Mountains from Georgia to Maine. Between semesters in college and high school, I worked on dude ranches and a summer camp in the mountains of Colorado and Georgia, getting to know the people and the area.

And did I mention that I love coding?
