About Me

I am a Creative Engineer in the Northern Nevada/Reno area with many years of experience in creating products and helping companies improve their software engineering.

I do both professional and personal projects. Personal projects like the Million Monkeys project went viral and gained international notoriety.  My interviews appeared in such prestigious places as the Wall Street Journal and Fox News with the full list on my resume.  I was invited to submit a paper on the topic to Significance which was published.

I strive to provide local developers with the resources to learn new technologies and improve their skillsets.  Currently, I sit on the Board of Directors as the Director of Member Services for the Northern Nevada Software Developers Group.  Additionally, I have a position on the Technology Advisory Committee at Morrison University in which I advise the college on appropriate curriculum for technical degree programs.

At the Northern Nevada Software Developers Group, I coordinate all meetings and speakers.  Also, I give various presentations; a list of the topics, presentations and example code are on my online resume, my Slideshare page, and my YouTube channel.

My blog focuses more on the philosophy and practical application of software engineering principles.
