Welcome!
Welcome to my website! I am a software engineering manager living in Omaha, Nebraska. I've been in the industry for something like fifteen years. I started this journey building QBASIC games in my parents basement. I've been chasing the high of making cool things since then. Most recently, I worked in transportation and logistics as a backend engineer, and currently I work as a manager and team lead for several high-performing teams in the Agile training industry.
I'm passionate about building great software, and I love to share what I've learned with others and build up more high performing technologists. I love to spend time with my wife and dog, and when the weather's right, sailing and mountain biking.
