My life is pretty boring by most standards. I was born outside the country in Panama City Panama, you know where the canal is at. Well anyways after my dad got out of the military we stayed in Texas for a spell. Then we traveled north to my mom’s home state of South Dakota.

Throughout my school life I was the quiet one. I stayed mostly out of trouble and below the radar. In high school I was bored nothing perked my interest until, that is, I was introduced to Java programming which was being offered as an elective. That’s when my love for programming started to blossom.

Once I graduated high school in 2008 I decided to expand my knowledge of the programming world by going to Alexandria Technical College, where I majored in computer programming.

I breezed through the java courses which high school had prepared me for. In college we were told that the hardest thing for a programmer to do is to think like the program. To be able to have the analytical side and logic to work out what needs to happen next. Once that was taught all that’s left for a programmer to do is to learn the syntax of the language your writing in. With my prior background from high school I had that part nailed down. So when it came to the other languages offered I picked them right up. The favorite of the languages I learned there was C#. It’s powerful and robust. VB was nice but was to, excuse my language, pretty.

After graduating college in 2010 I went to work at Citi Bank as a Software Tester in their IT department. There I learned how to work and be successful in a corporate setting. After a year and a half I decided to say farewell to the great people at Citi. I had made the decision, with a little help, to move to Florida. Where I than partnered up with Nathan Didier to created a SEO business.
