I live a blessed life in the state of Colorado surrounded by nature's beauty, which I often enjoy by traversing strapped to something or with something strapped to me. Sometimes both.

When I am not coding or teaching my kids about the magic of programming, I am goofing off with my wife and kids, traveling, playing taiko, or expanding my understanding of the universe's bits and bytes. I speak Japanese fluently and am always trying to learn other languages, both typed and spoken.
