Who I Am

It's hard to choose the few things you want to be good at in life. But there's just not enough time to do everything you want to do - you have to prioritize.
Coding, Photography, Videography, Music and Sports are some of the things I want to be good at. I know that might still look like a lot but for me, that's compartmentalized enough from the rest of "all of the things" that I feel like I can be at least good at all of them.

I identify first and foremost as a Christian who loves God and seeks to live by the principles in the Bible. It makes life much more enjoyable, meaningful and comprehensible. I have an amazing church family that I'm part of and regularly volunteer time and skills to help where I can.

I love my wife Leah; marrying her is probably the best choice I'll ever make. She makes life easier and sweeter every day. As much as I can, I serve her and put her before myself and it makes for a happy marriage.

I enjoy sports, especially basketball, football, and golf. Also I like volleyball, tennis, and disc golf. Staying active is important to me since my job is sitting/standing at a desk all day, plus....I just like competing.

I grew up in a little town - Wolfsville, MD. I attended Wolfsville Elementary School for K-5th grade, homeschooled for 6th-10th grade, then started at Hagerstown Community College in fall of 2017. I knew I liked computer things, so I went with Web and Multimedia Technology, which was a blend of graphic design and coding. I graduated in 2021 with my associates degree and started working at HeartyPet in Hagerstown, MD handling web development.

My typical tasks include: general website maintainance and bug fixes, building new, custom websites for clients. I work in Shopify, Wordpress and Odoo using Javascript, Liquid, PHP, HTML/XML, and CSS. I'm working on learning Node and React and hope to release an app in the next year.
