History

I grew up in Northern California's wine country, the Napa Valley. I was raised by my loving and hard working mother and father who always pushed me and my two older brothers to be the best that we could be in every thing we tried and we were instilled with respect, loyalty, and determination in many aspects of our lives. My brothers and I took particular joy in sports of any kind, from Football to Paintballing my parents were always supportive of us. When I graduated high school I decided to head to Flagstaff Arizona to become a Mechanical Engineer, but after my freshman year I switched to Computer Science and I never looked back. The complex problem solving is what drew me to the field and I love finding solutions to problems that were never considered before.

In my free time I enjoy hiking with my girlfriend Nicole and our two dogs. I enjoy backpacking, mountain biking, playing rugby, and playing video games. Recently I have started to learn how to barbecue in the hopes to ones day be as good as my father at cooking steaks.
