About Me

Work:

I currently work in Orem, UT as a Senior Software Engineer to my favorite company of all time. Service Repair Solutions. Currently I am heavily involved with many of the critical projects here working with teams in Vietnam, Uruaguay, Roseville (MN), Las Vegas(NV) and Orem(UT). We are doing all sorts of neat stuff here and this is a top notch company. So if you are a good developer, you want the mid-size company atmosphere to cross train on all sorts of technology, let me know and I'll see what positions we have open. We hire all the time. 

Family:

I'm married and have two daughters with another little girl on the way. Maybe one day I'll get a boy.

Future:

I'm currently studying to pass the Patent Bar to eventually moonlight as a Patent Lawyer/Agent when I'm not programming. Maybe in ten years I'll switch to being a lawyer at some firm, but we'll see. I love programming too much! I'm also helping to run a study group at my work to get more programmers Microsoft Certified. This company openly promotes growing their programmers into top notch developers.

Well here's my current resume.
