programming
I've been coding since my science teacher offered a python class my sophomore year of high school. My brain clicked with the problem-solving that goes into software development and I've been hooked ever since.
I've written code at many levels, from JavaScript and Python down to assembly and byte code running on RISC processors. I've even written code that got launched on a satellite
and worked on a few winning Game Jam games
. Since graduating I've had a strong focus on web development. The creativity and flexibility is something I enjoy diving into each day.

life
Midwest born and raised, I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Taylor University
. Life has taken me many places and for now I've settled in West Michigan just a short drive away from the Lake and the heart of downtown Grand Rapids.
Instead of a rubber ducky I talk tomy cat Charley
whenever I'm stumped by something. She doesn't offer much advice but she's a great listener.
