About
Back in 2005, I decided to try my hand at creating custom MySpace themes and dove head first into the rabbit hole of coding and web development. Fast-forward to today, and I’ve had the privilege of building software for an advertising agency, a full fledged development company, a hosting company, and a woocommerce studio.
My main focus these days is building hobby SaaS applications like MyNesso and TradeDataHub as well as design top-notch backend solutions for clients at Camna. I mostly enjoy building software in the sweet spot where design and engineering meet — things that look good but are also built well under the hood. In my free time, I love to just code anything and everything I can get my hands on. I have a goal of building a new SaaS application every 3 - 4 months. Check out my portfolio to see more.
When I’m not at the computer, I’m usually hanging out with my wife and three daughters, hiking, or running around Wyoming searching for new trails and peaks to hike. I love to write, I actually published my first book Why Do I Matter in May of 2024. If Im not reading one you can find me working on my next.
