He loves learning and working with new technologies. Top skills and passions include:

Outside of tech, he loves to travel, photograph nature, and play strategic board games. He lives in the mountains near Ruidoso, New Mexico (an amazing place for full-remote tech work!) with his wife and 3 cats.
He is employed by a great company at this time and is not looking for outside work. Should that situation ever change, this will be updated, but that is not anticipated in the foreseeable future.
