Born, raised, and currently reside in Saint Paul, Minnesota. I wasn't really interested in programming until I started the Full-Stack Engineer career path on Codecademy; I've since taken other courses, including Java, Python, jQuery, and Bootstrap. I currently work full-time in a leadership role at a credit union while I attend school part-time at Saint Paul College where I am studying for my A.A.S. in Computer Programming. When I'm not studying or working, I enjoy spending time with my wife, daughter, and friends in addition to playing video games and being outside.
