After working in skilled labor trades, I decided to take a chance and shoot for something more fulfilling. At an immersive web dev bootcamp in Lehi I discovered two things I'm passionate about: coding and teaching. I've been combining those two passions as a teaching assistant and lead instructor for almost two years, with a stint as a full stack web developer at Trove Brands.
I like LOTR, motorcycles and Avatar the Last Airbender. Like, a lot. Put me outside in nature or inside on an ultrawide and I'll be equally happy. I love living in Utah, mostly because it keeps me close to my family and the mountains.
I have always relished a challenge. Coming up against something difficult in pursuit of a worthy goal is highly motivating to me, and I believe a positive and determined attitude is one of the most valuable skills I bring to the workplace. Though I strive to perfect my technical skills as much as possible, I’m a people person and believe that great work starts and ends with great teams. I come to work every day excited to code and ready to support my teammates.
