I grew up with computers, my first was a Pentium MMX, running DOS. I later enjoyed Networking, 3D animation w/ Martin Hash, a little VB. 14 years later, after 8 years in the Army (17-26), I was afforded the opportunity to actually find myself. The past three years have taken me back to the 17 year old mark, before the Army, when I didn't have a clue what I wanted to do. I've been through Northwestern Mutual as a contractor, a bike shop in Colorado Springs where I came to love cycling, North Dakota as a natural gas Pipeliner, and to the office of an oilfield services company, as the Accounts Payable Manager. The past 6 months have brought me back to my first love, computers. I have fallen for Web Design and Development, immersed myself in HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Jquery, Ruby, and PHP. I have found passion again, for the first time since I stepped foot in a desert city 8,000 miles from home at 17 and the last time I stepped out of a valley in Afghanistan at 24 to find a new direction. I love my wife, son, and people. I am an introvert, through and through. I love reading and I love my Lord Jesus Christ.
