A brief background
After transitioning from a contracting specialist in the U.S. Air Force I moved to a career in software development.  I have a passion for all things technology.  I enjoy writing maintainable and clean code and developing a compelling user experience.  I think Ken Thompson hit the nail on the head when he first formulated the "Unix Philosophy," and I try and remind myself of that every time I sit down to build something.  When I'm not on a computer, I like to be outside, running, hiking, and just enjoying the outdoors.    
When I have some spare time I jot down some notes and recent experiences. I compile them into stories, tutorials, or sometimes a random collection of thoughts. Take a look at my blog to see some of the posts I've written.
