Interests

Apart from being a software developer, I've worked in IT for many years, and even did freelance web developing for a while. I can usually be found working on solo projects in Python, brushing up on my Boostrap skills, playing a game with some friends, or hanging with my wife & daughter.

I enjoy the outdoors and am trying to teach my daughter to live an active, healthy lifestyle by modeling it for her. I enjoy board games, office supplies, spreadsheets, and I have a weird obsession with timers.
