I’ve always been a tinkerer, but not always in ways related to technology. First I became determined to fix up a vintage moped. Then I decided to take on blacksmithing. After a few burns and scrapes, I decided I needed a new hobby. Ultimately, that led to computers.

I set out to build my first computer as a freshman in high school. I loved researching the best computer parts, saving up the money to finally buy them, and then waiting by the mailbox every day to see if they came. Once all of the parts arrived, I was able to put everything together and finally see my work pay off. I was hooked. After realizing how rewarding technology could be, I decided to make it my career.

I chose courses at Michigan State University that focused on mobile and web application development and received my Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science.

I became a member of the Accelerator Program as part of the Cell Epsilon cohort. I was drawn to Atomic because it gave me the opportunity to work closely with people who also have a passion for technology.

In my free time I enjoy researching new hobbies on YouTube, camping with friends, trying new craft beers, and spending time with my wife and two cats.
