My roots are shared between Michigan and Florida. I started elementary school in Michigan, but moved to Florida and attended Seminole County Public Schools, eventually graduating from Oviedo High School. I had the opportunity to play lacrosse in college, so I made my way back to my home state of Michigan to attend Calvin College and study computer science. After my first year of college, I was lucky enough to get an internship as a software engineer at Symantec and moved permanently to Florida where I continued my education, graduating from Florida State University with a Bachelors in Computer Science. In the past ten years, I have moved through the computer science world as a software engineer, a consultant, and a product manager within Universal Parks and Resorts where I gained experience and knowledge in building apps, websites, and technological systems that users around the world enjoy.
I am happily married to my wife Jillian and a proud animal dad to Coda and Millie. When I'm not working, I enjoy watching football, being in the outdoors and fishing, and hanging out with my family.
