About Me

I’m a quiet extrovert who loves creating, whether it’s building with my hands or on a computer. Passionate about serving my community, soaking up live music, and finding joy in simple moments.

Fun facts:

  • I found out I have Deuteranomaly just a few years ago at a museum. Basically I can't see very specific shades of red and green but it also means I'm extra thoughtful when it comes to accessibility.
  • I’ve been to 35+ major band shows—live music is my happy place! From Carrie Underwood to Metallica and many in between.
  • I married my high school sweetheart, and in 2017, we took a gap year to live in Medellín, Colombia—known as the City of Eternal Spring.
  • The doodle that's part of my logo was drawn by my daughter when she was 4 years old. I'm not entirely sure why she drew it that way, but I loved it instantly and decided to make it part of my logo.
