ABOUT

The love of learning has allowed me to form a symbiotic relationship with software development. It demands that I keep learning, and I wholeheartedly oblige. When I am not fulfilling obligations to my household or career, I gravitate to the outdoors. Camping is my primary passion. It grants me time for big-picture retrospection while reminding me to appreciate the little things in life. The photo above was taken on the highest point at Lake Jasper within the boundary waters of Minnesota. The view was well worth the climb.
