About Me

I'm a little bit of a jack-of-all-trades and my work history is certainly proof of that but it only tells part of the story. In all my trades and hobbies and practices a common thread connects things; and that is a chance to solve problems, shift my understanding, learn something new, and work with my hands. Personally my hobbies include photography, coffee, motorcycles, travel, and generally making/breaking things. Professionally I have experience that spans customer service, food service, construction, and software development.
