Personal Information

I am 27 years old and live in Seattle, WA. I’m married to a beautiful girl and have a dog and a cat.

History

I grew up in Albany, Oregon and lived there for 18 years. I swam a lot. Then I moved up to Seattle, Washington and went to school at Seattle University. I got my computer science and business degrees there. I got a job at Boeing and worked on super-secret high-tech military software (not as exciting as it sounds). I did that for almost three years, and then quit to join a new startup business: Tanga.com. I spent most of my free time on that and work from home. It’s quite a nice job. I’m now working on Tanga part-time and spend the rest of the time doing contract programming work for Fixie.

Technical Skills

  • I love the Ruby programming language—it’s my preferred one.
  • I know most of the ins and outs of C++.
  • I’m most comfortable in a *nix environment, preferably with a GNU userland.
  • My favorite Linux is Ubuntu, my favorite BSD is FreeBSD, and my preferred “production” OS is OpenSolaris.
  • My favorite text editor is vim. I’m trying out TextMate though.
  • Ruby On Rails is my favorite tool for developing web applications.
