I’m a kid again. The answer to the age-old question “What do you want to be when you grow up?” is opened wide.

The Beginning

I grew up in a small mountain town of around 1400 people in western Montana before my parents uprooted the family and moved to Hawaii. After a couple of years enduring sunshine and tropical beaches, I escaped to Los Angeles to try my hand at college. Several years later, design degree in hand, it was time to get serious. I began working on apps, websites, and graphics for companies ranging from large corporations like Subway and Sony, to indie furniture + lighting retailer A+R, and eventually to government with the City of Bend.

Today

In 2016, my wife and I moved out of LA and up to Bend, Oregon so we could hike and camp and mountain bike, and generally get in touch with nature. I spend my workdays enhancing the City of Bend’s digital service delivery. After I clock out, I play with my two little girls, then after they go to sleep, I explore the world of possibilities opening up in front of me through the latest advancements in AI.
