I'm a technologist living in Durham, North Carolina, USA with my wife and daughter, plus a dog named Steve and a parrot named Tad.
I work as a developer and manager at [Viget][1], where I've been building things for the web since 2008. Ruby is my primary language, but I enjoy working across a variety of technologies.
My parents met at IBM and I grew up around computers (my favorite was the [PS/2 Model P70][1]). We were online pretty early, first with [Prodigy][2] and AOL, then moving onto the web. I started making websites in middle school (a few I made as an underclassman in high school are [still][3] [online][4] as of March 2024). I interned at [webMethods][5] for two summers and saw both sides of the original web bubble. I studied Computer Science in college and have been making stuff for the web professionally ever since.
In my free time, I enjoy running, cycling, woodworking, making [music][2], and creative programming.
