I'm married to my wife Ann and have two daughters. We live in Saint Paul, Minnesota. In addition to being a husband, father and software engineer, I am a wooderworker, a cook, a bread baker and an avid reader of fantasy and science fiction novels (check out my favorite books). I sometimes post about these on Instagram.

I'm a Principal Software Engineer specializing in distributed systems and cloud architecture. I've built a wide variety of backend services over my twenty year career, including customer master data management, supply chain, finance, and customer relationship management. You can find my complete professional background on LinkedIn or view my detailed resume.

My technical focus includes distributed systems, domain-driven design, and building resilient microservices architectures. I'm particularly passionate about mentoring engineering teams and driving technical excellence through collaborative system design.

I earned a Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science and Engineering from The Ohio State University and have a healthy interest in the Buckeyes.
