My journey to Software Engineering has a long, strange trip.  I was born into a military family where we traveled the United States and the world, living in such places as Germany, Iceland, Las Vegas and Colorado, where I grew up.  

My early career as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT).  My experience providing emergency services showed me the power of technology to make real impact on people’s lives, from life saving medical equipment, advanced imaging and ultra-precise logistics communication.  This inspired me to pursue my Master’s Degree in Software Engineering from Regis University in Denver.  During this time I worked as a digital marketer at HomeAdvisor.

After receiving my Master’s Degree, I started work as a Software Engineer at Raytheon in Aurora, CO.  Since then, I moved to Greenville, South Carolina where I work remotely for The Internet Truckstop, where I have made a large impact for my team and organization. As a Lead Platform Engineer, I have have the opportunity to lead and learn from incredibly smart and talented people to make fundamental changes to how our company builds and deliver, high quality products of value to our customers.
