North east Ohio born and raised. I originally grew up in the rust belt in a blue collar family and as my parents would say “took apart our brand new computer right after we bought it”. I’ve been professionally involved in software development for over 15 years with Microsoft technologies. I have close to 15 years of C# experience, 14 years of SQL database experience, and over 6 years of NoSQL database experience. My main focus has been on some form of distributed systems ever since my College Honors thesis for my Bachelor’s Degree when I created a distributed chat program that would run on a network and automatically connect up with anyone else running the same software.

I’m an avid table-top gamer and don’t play nearly as many hours as I wish I could. Ever since I discovered Star Wars, I’ve been an avid fan and always will be no matter what kinds of movies they make. My childhood revolved around an NES, Finaly Fantasy, Star Wars books, and athletic sports. One day I may be able to run a 400m in 50 seconds again.
