Personal Bio

I am a husband, father, friend, mentor, executive, software engineer, data analyst, systems administrator, and entrepreneur, avid reader and lifelong learner. I am driven by my passion for technology, innovation, and helping others.

I find fulfillment in spending time with my family, reading books, writing code, and exploring new ideas. I believe deeply in the transformative power of education and the value of engaging with my local community. I have found the Bible to be incredibly inspiring, philosophically challenging, and useful for daily living. In my free time, I enjoy soccer (aka football), attempt to learn/play the cello, and play board games with friends.

I originally started this blog as a way to capture my thoughts on software development in a vain attempt to thwart Eagleson's Law (quoted below) ...while my attempt has been unsuccessful, it has been entertaining. I hope you discover something useful here. Enjoy!

Any code of your own that you haven't looked at for six or more months might as well have been written by someone else.
