I am a Software Developer in beautiful Colorado with a wife (praise Jesus, how did that happen?!) and a cat. I love the problem-solving aspects of programming and the satisfaction that comes from developing a clean, clever, and efficient solution to a challenge.

I have a bachelor's degree in Computer Science and a Mathematics minor from UCCS, and several years of professional programming experience. I find software development in a professional environment to be extremely fulfilling, especially when you can see the positive effects of something you have created.

I desire to constantly be sharpening and honing my craft while expanding my knowledge with new technologies and languages; and I'm never opposed to constructive criticism if it means I grow from the experience (unless that constructive criticism involves where I put my curly braces).

Art Stuffs

• Photoshop CS5
• Adobe Illustrator CS5
• Procreate (iOS application that runs MIND-BLOWINGLY well on a first gen iPad)
