My Leadership Philosophy
I believe in leading by example and creating an environment where teams can thrive. Technical excellence matters, but so does empathy, clear communication, and clear expectations. The best software comes from collaborative teams that feel empowered to innovate, take calculated risks, and learn from failures. My goal is to foster a culture of continuous improvement, knowledge sharing, and mutual respect while delivering exceptional value to users.
Fun Facts
My day doesn't start until I've had my morning coffee from my at home cold brew.
I volunteer at my local libary in our makerspace, helping with the 3D printers, laser cutters, and even teaching classes on software development, SMB development, and more.
I'm an avid reader and usually have three books going at once: one technical, one fiction, and one on personal growth.
My wife and I enjoy mountain biking, hiking, and camping. Especially in the mountains of Colorado and at Renfairs.
I host a podcast with my co-host, where we interview interesting people and discuss their stories, lessons, and advice. When we don't have guests, we talk about our own experiences and learnings in the world of technology, pop culture, and software development.
I'm a casual gamer who enjoys strategy, simulation, and role-playing games that involve complex systems and decision-making.
