About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to escape the confines of a sedentary existence and explore far and wide

ABOUT ME

I'm a professional software engineer from New Orleans, LA. In October 2005 I moved to New York City, where I helped create Squidoo. Presently I live with my girlfriend Cristal in sunny Boulder, CO, at the foothills of the Rockies and a burgeoning tech scene.

In my free time you can find me weightlifting, training in kung fu, jumping out of planes, boarding down mountains, climbing back up them, traveling to far and distant lands, and last but not least: writing short, witty bios.
