Born and raised in the charming heart of Lafayette, Indiana, I’ve spent the last two decades immersed in the world of software engineering, where my passion for problem-solving comes to life in lines of code. But my creativity doesn’t stop at a keyboard; I thrive on crafting functional masterpieces from wood, metal, plastics, and electronics, blending my technical skills with a hands-on approach to innovation. As a lifelong learner, I’m dedicated to not only expanding my own horizons but also fostering self-sufficiency and sustainability in my children, ensuring they understand the delicate balance between progress and community impact. Whether I’m debugging a complex application or chiseling a piece of art from raw materials, I strive to cultivate a world where ingenuity meets responsibility, proving that both craftsmanship and code can change lives for the better.
