My Story
I have lived all over the country, and I have been in Abilene, TX for 2 years. I have also spent time in Ohio, Massachusetts, California, Hawaii, Oregon, and Colorado. I have been to 49 states (everywhere except Alaska) and 6 countries.
Some of my favorite trips and adventures include:
- Hiking 120 miles along the John Muir Trail and reaching the top of Mt. Whitney at sunrise
- Hiking Blanca Peak in Colorado
- Bikepacking for 120 miles and 3 nights along the Colorado Trail
- Ski mountaineering many peaks around Lake Tahoe
- Hiking The Burren Way in Ireland (you may have seen it in Lord Of The Rings)
- Visiting Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island of Hawaii
- Extensive mountain biking around every state west of the Mississippi River
In college I began programming in C++, and after college I began coding web sites and web applications. JavaScript, Node.js, and PostgreSQL databases are my go-to for web apps. Anything you can imagine, I can create. I have a lot of confidence as a developer and designer, and I am able to make a plan for you to connect with customers through your web site and web applications.
I am a jack-of-all-trades and I know a little bit about a wide range of topics. This helps me to work with you to create compelling content for a variety of different businesses and services. I also love to learn, so if there are any gaps in my knowledge I am able to fill them quickly.
And if you haven't noticed, I write well with good punctuation and grammar, so you don't have to deal with sloppy writing and spelling errors on your web sites. Indeed, in web development and in writing, attention to detail is huge!
