About

I’m 29 and originally from the Minneapolis area. I spent a couple of years in New York City (2006 & 2007) and have since settled down in Austin, Texas. I work as a Software developer for a great little software startup company, Spiceworks.

I often get really involved in my work, but I’m working on participating and contributing more to the software/web world as an individual, along with my usual sometimes unseen contributions I make behind the curtain of a company. I’ve got far too many ideas to feasibly carry out on my own, but hope to see as many of them through as I can, before I lose interest on them completely.
