MORE ABOUT ME

Outside of programming, I love to skateboard around my neighborhood and make video montages of my life. I spend most of my free time goofing around with my high-school-sweetheart-turned-wife, Holland. Both of us are from Rochester, MN.

If you want to strike up a conversation, just ask me what I'm reading. (Even better, tell me what you're reading!) As an avid reader, I especially enjoy historical biographies and fantasy, but will generally devour anything that puts ink on paper.
