About Me

After 26 years in the classroom as a band director, I decided to take a leap of faith and go for a career as a full stack web developer. I have always had a passion for creativity and problem solving, which makes web development a perfect fit for me.

I consider myself a life-long student, so I am constantly working to learn and improve my coding skills to the highest level possible. When I'm not coding, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our two amazing kids.
