About
Welcome to my little place on the web! I'm a dad, a fiance, a pseudo-chef, and a freelance consultant with extensive experience in Django, Python, Java, PHP, Linux System Administration and Enterprise Architecture.
Katie
I have an absolutely amazing fiance, Katie, who puts up with my long work hours, my being a little messy at times (or a lot messy), and sometimes me just being a general pain in the butt :) She helps me remain calm, helps keep things in perspective, and is always there to put a smile on my face!
The Little Ladies
I am the father of two absolutely beautiful daughters, Olivia (8) and Sophie (3). They always make me smile, even when they're driving me crazy!
The Cats
Bella and Captain Oats keep me company during the day when I'm working out of the home office. Bella occasionally tries to help out by sitting on my keyboard, but I've determined she's a better lap-warmer than developer.
North Dakota
I grew up on a farm 10 miles north of Larimore, ND, which is about 25 miles west of Grand Forks, ND. I am extremely proud to call myself a North Dakotan, even though the weather in ND and I do not agree with each other.
University of North Dakota - The Fighting Sioux
I attended the University of North Dakota, and, even though I didn't graduate, when I make my millions, I will contribute to the Computer Science department. I spent many amazing hours there, and was given the opportunity to do things not many students were. Even though I might not have been the best student in the world, professors like Bruce Maxwell, Sven Anderson, Tom Wiggen, Tom O'Neil, and Henry Hexmoor were awesome, and helped mold me into thinking creatively and to always enjoy what I am doing!Cooking
I love to cook, it calms my nerves, and, who doesn't like to eat homemade food! I declare that my ribeye steak is one of the best on the East Coast!
