As a digital native, technology has always been part of my life. As a kid, I joined the world of online gaming when my parents first got dial-up Internet. For years, technology gave me access to hobbies, socializing, and an outlet for my competitive nature. It wasn’t until my first programming class, Visual Basic in high school, that I realized technology could be a career.
I attended Grand Valley State University and graduated with a B.S. in Computer Science.
I joined Atomic Object in 2013 and have held many roles within the company. I began working as a developer and consultant, absorbing as much information as I could from the talented makers around me. As I took on more technical responsibility, I uncovered another passion of mine.
More than delivering quality code, I enjoy creating an environment where clients can succeed and our teams are empowered. I became a Delivery Lead in 2019 and a Managing Partner in 2022, with opportunities to shape and deliver products for clients across several industries.
In my free time you can find me on a golf course, gaming, or adding new stats to our custom golf league app.
