About
A faithful believer, husband, dad, designer, developer, creative, and husky owner.
I grew up all over the map.
As a military kid, I’ve had the privilege to call many places home throughout my life. Last time I counted, it was well over 16 cities that we lived in since childhood. The constant movement gave me perspective and a deep appreciation for people, cultures, and different environments.
I met my wife in December of ’06 and my world changed for the better. We started our family in San Diego. The earlier chapters of my career were written in the non-profit education sector. Then as our family grew, I heard the calling to make a career pivot and transition into a whole new industry.
In 2014, I applied to a software engineering bootcamp in Austin. After getting accepted, my wife and I uprooted our family from California and headed to Texas. There, I learned to code and established a whole new career. It was there that I discovered the world of software design and my interest piqued.
Since then, I’ve held various roles such as Front-end Developer, UX Engineer, Design Lead, Tech Lead, and mentor. It’s been a humbling and incredible ride; Still, I’m motivated by new technologies and continuing to help people through digital solutions.
Today, I live in New York with my wife, our two sons, and our constantly shedding husky.
