About Me

I love developing software; it's what I do best, whether it is writing new functionality, creating tests, researching new technology, or working closely with customers to make sure their needs are being met at every stage of development. I am constantly reading and writing about new programming methodologies and techniques. I write code extensively in my free time and have several open source projects. Programming is something that is a huge part of my life, not just my work.

I also believe in a healthy work/life balance. I have several hobbies outside of programming. I play hockey every week in Grapevine, Texas for a team called the Jets. Hockey provides an excellent opportunity to build relationships and improve teamwork and leadership skills. I also enjoy reading. I have recently finished Rework by the insanely smart guys at 37signals and am also working through the Sherlock Holmes collection.

Seth Godin wrote, "If you are going to work, work hard. That way, you'll have something to show for it." I apply this advice as much as possible with every project in which I'm involved. I put a great deal of pride and effort into my work, and that is what can be expected from me every day.
