About Me
I grew up in Minnesota, studied psychology and neuroscience at Carleton College, then went on to start & grow Lendeavor, a healthcare financing company in San Francisco. I began programming at Epicodus, a rigorous 6-month bootcamp in Seattle, and have been working as a freelance developer since.
I'm an avid tennis player and love to hike and ski. I'm a fan of science fiction and psychology and I enjoy the consumption - and production - of music of all kinds. Most of all, I love sharing these interests with my partner Mackenzie, a better skier and hiker than myself and a practicing mental health counselor.
I'm currently working a lot with React and Gatsby, striving to build the most beautiful and performant websites I can. I am always looking for new projects and opportunities; don't hesitate to leave a note below.

IDIOT'S DELIGHT
Inspired by my father's favorite game to play at the cabin on a frigid midwest day, this web-based card game is almost as addicting as it is easy.
