Originally from Maryland, I've always felt drawn to the mountains, coast, and forests of the Pacific Northwest. After years of traveling out here whenever I could, I eventually relocated and now call Vancouver, Washington home.

I first got into web design in the early 2000s, customizing MySpace layouts and making websites and merch for the bands I played in. That mix of creativity and problem solving stuck with me, even as I followed a different path for a while. I ran a car related business for years, which taught me what it really takes to serve customers well: clear communication, efficient systems, and delivering without excuses.

My previous experience with running a service business led me back to the web, where I started building websites and e-commerce setups for other business owners. Eventually, I made the leap to coding full-time and have since worked with dozens of small businesses, and more recently as a frontend developer on several teams.

In my free time, I love to cook, hike, travel, and make music. I'm always learning something new, whether it's through building side projects, watching documentaries, or diving into a new interest.
