I’m a serial entrepreneur and eternal optimist. I see opportunity where others see dead ends, and I see possibility where others see roadblocks. I dream big and share that dream to inspire others.
I absolutely love people. I love their quirks and imperfections, their opinions and perspectives, their talents and potential. It’s people that make any group or organization successful, and I work with some of the greatest on the planet.

I have been programming since I was around 5. I absolutely loved having the computer do exactly as I told it. My computer didn’t work very well either so I’d have to write a game before I could play it, and when the power shut off, I’d have to write the game again to play it again.
I always knew I wanted to be a software engineer, so I tried to do all I could in High School including taking the AP computers class and lettering in Computer Science (possibly the only one to have ever done that before). I got my first professional job when I was 15 writing computerized testing and distance learning programs for Salt Lake Community College.
