About

I have always been a mix of creative and analytical, but have struggled to find where that duality can coexist. As a musician, I've been able to utilize the creative part of me to write and play music but I've never quite fit in with other musicians in my desire to add structure and order to the creative process. In my business ventures, I have been able to live in details and data, but have felt unable to express my creative side in a way that is fulfilling. I have found the perfect union of the two in programming.

As a software developer, I am able to use my whole self to solve problems. I have the opportunity to step back, look at the big picture, and come up with a creative solution. While at the same time, dive deep into the details in order to bring that solution to life. I look forward to the consistent opportunity and necessity to learn new things. My favorite aspect of programming is the ability to use code to solve real problems in the world around me.

When not writing code you can find me singing and playing guitar in venues around the Nashville area.
