I grew up in small town in Oklahoma and later migrated to Phoenix, Arizona. My path to software development started from a small roadblock early in my life. I was sick with mononucleosis during my 5th grade year which had me quarantined for a school semester. This led to me designing some of my first programs at the age of ten and running my own website at eleven years old for graphics and tutorials. I've been hooked on tech ever since.

However when not writing code, I am building in my woodshop and playing fetch with my dog. I also enjoy getting outdoors through mountain biking, kayaking, camping, gardening, and swimming.
