I was a programmer at an early age, using TRS-80, TI99/4A, Commodore 64, and the vaunted Apple //e. I was first exposed in fifth grade learning how to use LOGO. Into high school, I learned to enjoy building things and migrated towards engineering disciplines. I went to Georgia Tech to become an Electrical Engineer. I left with as an Industrial (nee Imaginary) Engineer and a fascination for a new programming language called Java.

After a brief stint as an Engineer-in-Training, the Internet and dot com boom came calling and I started my career as a web developer. Working my way up the technology and career stack, I became an architect. When that stopped being fulfilling, I learned a new role, Developer Advocate. Which means I was the steward and champion for our development teams.

I believe I've found my niche in helping build teams and grow careers in software development. I like to stay technical enough to lead by example and passionate enough to continue learning every day.
