Harvard graduate, ran and sold my own company, and then decided to turn my passion for coding as a hobby and time saver into a career. I also am a father of two English Bulldogs and a lover of science fiction and loud music.

I'd been taking classes for years, starting with BASIC summer camp as a nine year old. I took some intro classes in college and then at my local community college. At my first job, I was encouraged to learn VBA and HTML/CSS to automate more of my job, and later was exposed to network device programming and LAN configuration. I was self-taught in PHP and JavaScript. I took the plunge into coding as a primary career after selling my business and enrolling in Bloc's full time Software Engineering track.

I like the opportunity to finish a puzzle every day, and the satisfaction I derive from making cool things.
