I am self-motivated and success-driven. Working in open source on projects that have members worldwide has given me skills such as leadership, communication, teamwork, adaptability, and conflict resolution. As far as technology skills go, I am well versed in systems like IBM i, Linux, and Unix. The main software languages I use are: Python, PHP, Node.js, Ruby, C, C++, and Java, as well as all front-end web languages.
I am a passionate advocate of Open Source Software. I advocate for open source by providing education, training, and development through my business, SoBored. In addition, I spread open source knowledge by giving labs and presentations at conferences and user groups.
In my spare time, I enjoy going on hikes with my wife and our dogs, playing billiards, camping, watching horror films, and listening to hip-hop.
