About

If you ask me, writing code is a lifestyle, not simply a career option. With that in mind, I believe strongly in the quote "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life". Because of this, it isn't necessarily about the money, but the challenge that comes with any given task. When presented with a technical problem, I crave to develop a creative solution that will help me grow as a developer but to help grow businesses and enterprises alike. People often describe me as down to earth, passionate, and deeply caring of my team. I simply want us all to succeed, and for us all to have destinies that we chose for ourselves. Between writing code, architecting a system, mentoring younger developers, and leading a team, I have an appreciation for everyone and how they contribute to a larger mission. I choose to be part of anything that I can see clearly that is bigger than myself, and feel blessed that I am accepted in that larger mission. I came to Nebraska in 2009 from Thousand Oaks, California, with next to nothing but hope and a firey determination. I turned this hope and determination into a home in Omaha, wonderful lifetime friends, great mentors, a sweet furbaby black cat named Lola, and a passion almost unrivaled for my career path. If we choose each other for a project, you can bet that I will be there because I not only believe in the mission statement, not only the project but also in you and the team. Now that you know a little bit about me, tell me about you
