Interests
I was born and raised in Houston Texas but I have considered Seattle my home for the past six years. After nearly twenty years in the audio visual business, I decided to change my life and career and became a full stack web developer. When I’m not coding, I am a devout fan of the world champion Houston Astros, avid hiker and backpacker, and enjoy live events: concerts, sports, and comedy. I am also an amateur photographer and trivia buff. When forced indoors, I enjoy having dinner with friends, movies, game nights, and I spend a lot of my free time exploring the latest technology advancements in the web development world.
