About
I live in Columbus, Ohio and I’m married with three children. Two are out of college and the other is 9 years old. I have a degree in Computer Science from Ohio State and I started my career as a Windows developer. I worked with PHP, ASP, and Java before getting into Rails while freelancing in the early 00’s. During this time, my interests shifted towards design.
Current enjoying
- Rollerblade Twister XT. I used to skate in the mid-90s and have picked it back up as a safe (or is it not safe?) midlife crisis hobby. I’ve swapped out the frame for an Endless 90 and I’m using a 4x90mm setup.
- Switch 2. My prime gaming years are long behind me, but I love Mario Kart and I’m discovering Cyberpunk 2077, Hades, and Dead Cells.
- Zerocam. Amazing iPhone camera app that is dirt simple and produces colors that are :chefs-kiss:.
- Cosmos. Another good site full of inspiring photos and design. It’s not as deep as Are.na, but it has a great UX.
- Ghostty. New terminal emulator by Mitchell Hashimoto. He posts occassional development logs on his site and is active on the project’s Discord server.
- REZZ. Some EDM music is too much for me, but I like her dark, heavy sound. This Brooklyn Mirage set is so good.
- Are.na. An endless rabbit hole of inspiring, strange, and interesting things.
