Who I am

I'm a big proponent of starting off introductions with things that aren't about work, we're all people who live interesting lives after-all right?

• I love watching the Phillies and baseball in general.
• I'm a father of a wonderful 7 year old boy.
• I've started woodworking and enjoy making things with my hands; taking raw materials and turning them into something useful is a great feeling.
• I like board games and have even made a few youtube videos and blog posts about them. I also have a very small used game store with free shipping if you're interested in checking that out.
• I go rock climbing a lot less than I used to but I still love it and have spent time in the many climbing areas around Colorado.

Me as a Worker

I mostly work with Ruby and Rails professionally, but love learning new technologies and expanding my tool belt.

Writing software allows me to create things that affect people's lives in positive ways while also learning every day. I have a background in education, so I try to ensure that whatever I'm currently working on is intellectually stimulating and allows me to grow as a person. I also think it's important to have a separation between work and life and tend to turn off my "work brain" when it's quitting time, but I'm known to have an epiphany or two while laying in bed or in the shower 😆.

I'm currently working as a senior software engineer at Shopify but my whole resume can be found here but it's hard to keep it up to date.
