About Me

I am a software engineer, mathematician, and veteran. I spent several years doing Modeling and Simulation, then did a career transition. In my spare time you would likely find me reading The Expanse, playing MTG, patronizing my local coffee shop, doing pushups, or hiking in the beautiful PNW.
