Though I grew up in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains in Blacksburg, Virginia, I’m happy to call Denver my home since earning my bachelor's degree here.
I started exploring programming in my spare time a few years ago and have since turned it into a career that I love. In fall 2018, I graduated from Turing School of Software and Design, and have since then continued to explore new technologies and develop my skills. I love the puzzle solving aspect of coding, and that it feels like building little machines that get jobs done. I currently am on the development team at TRIBUS, building sites and services for real estate brokerages.
Making music has been a major part of my life since I picked up the guitar at age 12. My musical influences range from jazz and American roots music to punk-rock and rock-steady. Through music, I’ve had the privilege of traveling to spectacular places around the country and the world, and being introduced to great friends, including many in Denver's awesome music scene! You can catch me most Sundays playing in a gypsy-jazz/surf/swing guitar duo at Spangalang brewery in Five Points. I also play in a rock band, and do the occasional folk duo gig with my dad in the Colorado high country.
When I'm not coding or playing an instrument these days, I enjoy hiking and mountain biking, reading, live music, a good beer, and generally exploring new places and meeting diverse and interesting people.
