About Me

Artistic and technically-inclined with an appreciation for a nice aesthetic but a reverence for quality design. That applies to all facets of my life.

I build information systems for a living and feel a distinct connection to God through my work.

I am also a film making hobbyist.

I am also a heterosexual.

I like to write too.

I develop and document insights on life in my spare time and feel an ever-increasing encroachment of insanity as the number of observations grows.

Analyze. Create. Deconstruct. Refine.

Dissolve. Resolve. Evolve.
