Hello!

husband - father - coder - jedi

I am full-stack developer who has a strong background with the front-end and is improving my back-end knowledge every day. I was born in 1988 and grew up in Michigan. Once I graduated High School I knew that I wanted to do something with computers. I ended up taking a Graphic Design class and loved it, so I went to Spring Arbor University and got a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a focus on Graphic Design. During my time in college I fell in love with coding and realized that stuff I designed, I could also build in code. Thus began my journey to learn everything I know about coding to this day.

I have written code for Steel Fish Design, Traffic Digital Agency, and Deque. I also help out maintain a few open source projects when I have the free time. I currently work at Nexient as a Senior Developer I. In my current position I lead a team of front end developers for a client. In our day to day we use React, GQL, and Sass.

I met my wife while attending SAU. We live in a small town in Michigan with our six year old son and two year old daughter.
