About

I'm a Coos County native that loves and appreciates the natural beauty and recreation the area provides. Spending time with my wife, Sarah, and our two beautiful children is my favorite pasttime. When the weather permits, we enjoy hiking, exploring and sports of all kinds. We also enjoy eating tasty food (which obviously isn't weather dependent...). I also enjoy tinkering, watching the English Premier League, most forms of racing (people and vehicles!) as well as home DIY.

Professionally, I hold a Bachelor's degree from the Oregon Institute of Technology in Information Technology in addition to nearly a decade in the IT field. I've worked with local organizations and global companies across industries including finance, healthcare, education and everything inbetween.
